Many OGO scholarships are now part of a common application. Through the OGO Common Application for Scholarships, OHIO students will be able to apply for multiple scholarships in one place. If you have any questions please reach out to global.opportunities@ohio.edu.

Beyond the scholarships offered by the Office of Global Opportunities and the Ohio International Consortium, you may also want to review our list of additional funding sources. This includes scholarships administered by other Ohio University Offices, Affiliates, Civic Organizations, Foundations, and Institutions, as well as, Nationally Competitive International Scholarships.

Did you know? You don't have to be accepted on a program to apply for an OGO scholarship! You will want to have a program identified, but you can apply for funding regardless of where you are at in the program's application process.
