Current undergraduate student scholarships
As a continuing or readmitted student, you will automatically be considered for general university scholarships; no separate application is required. There are many great scholarships awarded to continuing student through OSU's academic colleges that may require an additional application. Check with your college for more information.
File the FAFSA
Some awards are based on financial need and can be time sensitive, so we encourage you to complete the FAFSA each year beginning October 1 for the following academic year. We advise all students to complete the FAFSA.
Time frame
We typically award scholarships in late spring for the upcoming academic year and will notify you at your OSU email address.
Eligibility
To be considered for these scholarship programs, you must be classified as a sophomore, junior, or senior and be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident. These scholarships are NOT available for the summer semester.
