Scholarships + Financial Aid

From loans to scholarships to employment opportunities, the Russ College is committed to helping you find ways to make your education affordable. We prioritize investing in students, so we offer scholarships, development funds, and research stipends, and we publicize outside funding sources all year long.

All new students are automatically considered for scholarship awards (see below). 

Scholarship Awards

All new students are automatically considered for scholarship awards. Your application for admission is also your application for scholarships.  Russ College has a substantial program of renewable scholarships awarded to incoming first-year students based on their high school GPA and/or ACT or SAT score. 

Cutler Scholarships are awarded to a very select group of extraordinarily capable and committed students.

Continuing students who wish to be considered for scholarships based upon their accomplishments as students at Ohio University should apply online each winter starting at the university Financial Aid & Scholarships website. The deadline for continuing student scholarship application is February 1. This single application enables your consideration for all scholarships administered by Ohio University.
