The Office of Financial Aid at The Ohio State University at Newark is looking forward to serving you. Some important items to take note of as you begin the financial aid application process:
-
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the only financial aid application needed. It should be submitted at least twelve (12) weeks before your first quarter to have the funds available when you begin classes. Reminder: The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available for you to apply for aid for the 2009-2010 award year. Complete and submit the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov to ensure the fastest processing and fewest errors. You can also obtain a PDF version of the FAFSA at www.federalstudentaid.ed.gov.

-
You will be eligible for some type of Federal aid regardless of your income. The Ohio State University participates in State and Federal grant and loan programs, and has institutional scholarship funds available.
-
The admission process is interrelated with the financial aid process. Please complete all requirements for admission as quickly as possible, including submission of all academic transcripts of high schools and colleges attended to the Admission office.
Our staff looks forward to serving you and is here to assist you in financing your education. We welcome your questions. Please stop by the Office of Financial Aid in the Hopewell Mall or call us at 740.366.9435, 614.292.4094 (Columbus), or elsewhere in Ohio at 800.9NEWARK. You may also email any questions to us.
