Funds for academically talented and creatively gifted students are offered by Ohio University through a variety of scholarships. Additionally, the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships awards scholarships that have special criteria. Your freshmen admissions application serves as an automatic application for all possible University scholarships. Upperclassmen who submit a scholarship application are also considered for all possible upperclass scholarships. You also may want to check with your department or academic advisor to see if there are any other scholarships for which you may want to apply.

Because many scholarships also require verification of financial need, all scholarship applicants are strongly encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on the Web.

All students interested in obtaining a scholarship must reapply each year, even students who currently have a scholarship.

If you are awarded and accept a scholarship, it means that you agree to abide by any applicable university, federal, and/or state regulations. While scholarship program criteria may vary, the following is generally true for University scholarships excluding some of the Gateway Program Awards. To see if your scholarship has different criteria please review your Award Letter.
Hours Requirement
Excluding Gateway Scholarship recipients, Athens campus students must be registered for at least 16 credit hours for each quarter during the academic year for which you receive a scholarship. You must earn at least 48 hours for the year. If you attend a regional campus and have a regional campus scholarship, you must earn at least 12 hours per quarter with the exception of the Eastern campus which requires 16 hours.

If you are studying abroad, you must meet one of the following criteria to be eligible to use your Ohio University scholarship:
register for at least 16 hours at Ohio University, or
participate on an official Ohio University exchange program, or
enroll at a foreign institution that is a partner school with Ohio University (a listing of such OU partner institutions which accept Exchange and/or Study Abroad students is provided by the Office of Education Abroad), or
be a full-time student on a study abroad program through another four-year state school in Ohio through the Ohio International Consortium, or
participate in a program offered by a program provider designated as an official affiliate of Ohio University or any organization or consortium of which Ohio University is a member (a listing of these providers is available from the Office of Education Abroad).

In other words, students who study abroad through another American university or program provider not indicated above or enroll through direct enrollment at a foreign school that is not one of our foreign partner schools, will not be eligible to use a scholarship from Ohio University during the term or terms of studies abroad.

The University of South Carolina awards over 1000 scholarships each year to entering freshman. In order to be considered for one of these awards, students should apply early and follow the application instructions provided by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Students who wish to be considered for the Carolina Scholars, McNair Scholars, and Alumni Scholars awards will need to complete the appropriate resident or non-SC resident University Honors College and Scholarship Application also provided by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and available at most high-school guidance offices in the state. The University Honors College and Scholarship Application must be returned to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, postmarked by November 15. The postmark date applies to both South Carolina residents and non-South Carolina resident students. A student may receive only one general University Scholarship with the exception of the Lieber Scholarship.

CampusRN has launched a new scholarship program in conjunction with the creation of the CampusRN state edition network. This nationwide scholarship program is the most comprehensive of its kind for nursing programs and nursing students because it features scholarship winners from six different regions across the country in which CampusRN has launched state edition sites. CampusRN will award six $2500 scholarships to a needy and deserving nursing student in each region.

After you submit an application you will be redirected to a page where you can check if your school is registered with CampusRN. You will also find simple instructions on how to register your school if it is not currently registered.

Information for colleges and universities on registering for the scholarship program can be found on our university scholarship center page.
