Scholarships
At Ohio State Newark, we have a tradition of awarding scholarships that recognize student accomplishments.
Scholarships awarded automatically
Most scholarships do not require students to do anything other than be admitted and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) every year.
Scholarships with application
Some Ohio State Newark scholarships have additional criteria and require the submission of an application. Applications are typically available in January and due March 15 each year, except where noted.
Merit scholarships
Incoming freshmen may apply for a merit scholarship of $4,000 after admission to the Newark campus. To be eligible, students must have a 3.6 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) and have successfully completed at least two Advanced Placement (AP) or two College Credit Plus (CCP) courses before their high school graduation.
There is limited funding available for these scholarships, so they are awarded until funds are exhausted. Priority is given to students who are admitted to Ohio State Newark and submit the merit scholarship application by Jan. 1.
Submit the merit scholarship application for incoming freshmen.
Incoming transfer students are considered for a Newark campus merit scholarship based on their admission to the university and submission of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Eligible students must transfer more than 15 credits with a cumulative 2.8 GPA or higher from all previous college coursework. No additional application is required. Recipients of this scholarship will be sent a letter and must accept the award for disbursement.
Returning students are considered for Newark campus merit scholarships based on their current cumulative GPA and hours completed.
