@overit2024 I know two upperclassmen at OSU who have several stacked merit scholarships, bringing their cost to almost nothing (one is a nursing student, the other engineering). The Ohio First (or something like that) program is about $5k, but only for kids in specific majors. Wouldn’t call either family wealthy, but probably upper middle class? I can’t speak for any major other than engineering, which I have researched only online, but there seems to be a lot of $ for engineering majors after freshmen year. Perhaps that is because freshmen are still technically not engineering majors until sophomore year. We are fortunate and feel that $11k is the deal of the century but fully recognize that room and board added in is quite a big sum, and limiting for a lot of families.
