Financing Your Education
At Ohio Dominican University your financial needs get our personal attention. Our
Financial Aid Staff is here to help you obtain the financial assistance you qualify for
through a variety and combination of programs.
We strongly encourage you to begin the application process as soon as possible.
Meeting deadlines and filling out forms completely will help ensure that you receive
the amount of scholarship and financial aid assistance you are eligible to receive.
The priority date for applying for financial aid at Ohio Dominican University
is April 1. To give yourself the best chance, apply early!
Financial aid is money to help you and your family cover educational expenses. It is
intended to supplement, not replace, the amount you and your family can afford.
Students applying for all federal, state and institutional grants and scholarships must
complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
For the upcoming academic year (August - May), families can submit their FAFSA as early as
January 1. Both the student and parent must apply for individual
PIN numbers fo file the FAFSA electronically.
Completion of the
FAFSA on the
Web Worksheet is recommended to simplfy the completion of the online version of
the FAFSA.
- Family circumstances and aid program requirements may change from year to year.
- You are required to reapply for financial aid each year you expect to receive aid.
- There is no guarantee that you will receive the same amount of aid each year. We
do our best, however, to see you have the resources to complete your educational
objectives.
- FAFSA results received after April 1 will be awarded from remaining funds. To
give yourself the best chance, apply early.
- Additional assistance you receive after the financial aid office has awarded
you may reduce or eliminate certain need-based aid you were previously offered.
- Eligibility for financial aid is determined by the difference between the cost
of attending college (actual billed cost) and the calculated family contribution.
To put it another way... Billed cost - family contribution = Need.
