Ohio State Scholarship Universe and Departmental Scholarships for International Undergraduates

The Ohio State University, United States

Scholarship overview

The university offers hundreds of scholarships with varied eligibility criteria and deadlines. International students find them through Scholarship Universe, a matching tool covering Ohio State scholarships and more than 10,000 external sources. Some colleges and departments also offer scholarships or grants outside Scholarship Universe.

International students and their families or sponsors are responsible for all tuition and living expenses; admitted students must show proof of financial support to receive the I-20 or DS-2019.

Award Information

  • An Ohio State username (activated after applying for admission) is needed to log in to Scholarship Universe.
  • Short-Term University Assistance for temporary financial difficulty requires approval by the Office of International Affairs.

Amounts vary by scholarship. External scholarships count as part of the overall financial aid package, which cannot exceed the cost of attendance.
