Ohio State makes every effort to make a world-class education both accessible and affordable. By taking an innovative approach, the university has created more pathways to college for more students, providing more opportunities critical for student success. Ohio State was recently ranked by the Chronicle of Higher Education as first in the nation among flagship universities for efforts to control in-state tuition costs over the last decade.
The Ohio State Buckeye Opportunity Program supports students from Ohio on all campuses who qualify for a Federal Pell Grant. Each recipient receives enough student financial aid to cover the full cost of undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees. Many Pell eligible students have their tuition and mandatory fees covered through a combination of scholarships and federal, state, and institutional grants. For students whose aid falls short, Ohio State’s Buckeye Affordability Grant bridges any gaps.
