About Scholarships at OU

Funds for academically talented and creatively gifted students are offered by Ohio University through a variety of scholarships. Additionally, the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships awards scholarships that have special criteria. Your freshmen admissions application serves as an automatic application for all possible University scholarships. Upperclassmen who submit a scholarship application are also considered for all possible upperclass scholarships. You also may want to check with your department or academic advisor to see if there are any other scholarships for which you may want to apply.

Because many scholarships also require verification of financial need, all scholarship applicants are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the Web.
All students interested in obtaining a scholarship must reapply each year, even students who currently have a scholarship.

If you are awarded and accept a scholarship, it means that you agree to abide by any applicable university, federal, and/or state regulations. While scholarship program criteria may vary, the following is generally true for University scholarships excluding some of the Gateway Program Awards. To see if your scholarship has different criteria please review your Award Letter.

Types of Scholarships

Freshman - Gateway Scholarships

First-time freshmen students who take the SAT or ACT exam and begin their studies in the fall quarter may be eligible for scholarships through the Gateway Award Program. You will automatically be considered for freshman scholarships by virtue of applying for admission via the freshman application for admission and submitting your official SAT or ACT scores. We recommend you apply by January 1 for full consideration.
