I'm seriously considering applying to Ohio University, but I want to make sure I'm aware of the tuition cost. Can anyone shed some light on how much it costs to attend OU for in-state and out-of-state students? Are there any financial aid or scholarship opportunities that I should look into?
For the 2024-2025 academic year, Ohio University's tuition rates are as follows:
In-state students:
- Undergraduate tuition: $13,746 per year
Out-of-state students:
- Undergraduate tuition: $24,114 per year
Please note that these figures are for tuition only and do not include other costs, such as housing, meal plans, books, and personal expenses. When factoring in these additional costs, the total estimated cost of attendance for in-state students is around $32,204 per year, and for out-of-state students, it's about $42,884 per year. Keep in mind that tuition and fees are subject to change each year.
As for financial aid and scholarship opportunities, you'll want to complete the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as it becomes available on October 1st to be considered for federal grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. Ohio University also offers a variety of scholarships, which can be based on factors such as academic merit, financial need, and extracurricular involvement.
Lastly, make sure to use Ohio University's Net Price Calculator, which can help give you a more personalized estimate of what your expenses will be and what kind of financial aid package you may be eligible for. This can be a helpful tool in determining the affordability of attending OU.
