Financial Aid and Scholarships
The 2019-2020 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available and should be completed as soon as possible. You can download the myStudentAid mobile app to complete your FAFSA from your phone.
Use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool within the myFAFSA app to import 2017 tax information into your 2019-2020 FAFSA.
We have begun mailing award letters to future bobcats for the fall 2019 and will continue to do so as students complete the FAFSA. For information about costs and financial aid at Ohio University, please view our Award Letter enclosure.
If you haven’t received your award letter yet, check your OHIO Student Center To Do List to make sure there aren’t outstanding items delaying your financial aid awards.
