Sup guys! Planning to apply to Otterbein University, but the cost is a huge consideration for me. Can anyone provide details about their tuition and fees? Are there any good scholarships I should know about?
Absolutely! Otterbein University, like most private institutions, has a higher tuition rate. For the 2024-2025 school year, you're looking at about $35,024 for tuition and fees, with an estimated $13,026 for room & board if you're planning to live on-campus.
As far as scholarships go, Otterbein offers a few merit-based awards which are automatically considered upon admission, so there's no separate application required for these. The Provost's, President's, and Dean's Scholarships range from $18,000 to $22,000 per year, and are based on academic achievement. There's also the Otterbein Grant, which meets a portion of calculated financial need.
I would suggest you thoroughly investigate your eligibility for these, making sure to pay attention to any specific deadlines or additional application materials. Remember to submit your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible to increase your chances of receiving financial aid.
Keep in mind that the net price of attendance, which includes not only tuition and fees but also room and board, books, supplies, and personal expenses, could in reality be lower once financial aid and scholarships are considered. I'd suggest using the net price calculator on the Otterbein University website for a more accurate estimate based on your family's financial circumstances and your personal academic profile. This can give you a better understanding of your potential financial commitment.
