Have you already applied?

My daughter applied earlier this fall and was admitted. We just received her merit award letter last week. She received three different awards - one being the Ohio Trustee award for 6k - and two others that bring the award total to 10k.

I think that brings it close to, or about the same as, in-state tuition.

I’ve no idea if the school will offer more aid, if asked…

I have the same question about the Scholars LAS program.

She was not invited to apply - but according to the website, she should be eligible.

I’m curious if selection for Scholars program is automatic, based on stats and a good enough essay written - or is it competitive?

My D is concerned about both class size and the reputed party atmosphere at Ohio - but otherwise likes the school and is seriously considering enrolling next fall - and we think the Scholars program would be a good fit for her.
