Apply for Admission to Ohio Northern
We begin to process financial aid (including scholarships) for prospective students once they have applied and been accepted at ONU. We welcome questions at any time from those who have not yet applied but would like to learn more about financial aid at ONU.
File the FAFSA – Available after January 1st of each year
The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) from the Department of Education. The FAFSA calculates a family’s ability to pay for their student’s education. While filing a FAFSA is not mandatory we do recommend that families file in order to be considered for state, federal and institutional financial aid. Any student and family wishing to use a federal loan must also file the FAFSA. Each student filing the FAFSA and at least one parent/step-parent filing with the student must have a PIN number.
