Newark Scholarships
At The Ohio State University at Newark we have a tradition of awarding scholarships that recognize student accomplishments. Below is a list of scholarships available on the Newark campus. 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 at fafsa.gov. Those that require a separate application will be noted. Applications are typically available In January each year with a due date of early March.
Incoming Freshmen
Incoming freshmen are considered for Newark campus merit scholarships based on their application for admission and their high school transcript. Priority is given to those who are admitted by March 1st.
Transfer Students
Incoming transfer students are considered for a Newark campus merit-scholarship based on their admission to the university, submission of their FAFSA, transferring with more than 15 credits, and above a cumulative 2.8 GPA from all previous college course work. No additional application is required. Recipients of this scholarship will be sent a letter and must accept the award for disbursement.
