You can also reach us at financial.aid@ohio.edu or 740.593.4141. You can also contact our office to schedule an in-person appointment or schedule a virtual appointment with your assigned financial aid advisor. Required financial aid documents can be submitted using our Secure Upload Portal (see our Troubleshooting Guide for assistance) or faxed to 740.593.4140. Documents can also be dropped off in our office or placed in the drop box located inside the south entrance doors on the ground floor of Chubb Hall (Court Street side of the building). Please make sure your name and student PID number are listed on all documents. You are encouraged to frequently visit your My OHIO Student Center to review your To Do List to see if any items are needed to complete the processing of your financial aid.

    The OHIO Excellence Awards

    The OHIO Excellence Awards program is designed to recognize the resilience, accomplishments, and diverse contributions of the fall 2023 entering first-year class. The new and expanded program underscores OHIO's commitment to support our students from admission through graduation and beyond. The application for admission serves as the application for the merit-based awards. 

    Need another reason to complete the FAFSA? Students whose 2023-24 FAFSA results are received by January 15, 2023, will be considered for the OHIO Admission Promise Award. Students do not need to have financial need to qualify.
