Get the Education You Deserve

A Degree Within Your Reach

We’re all about making college a reality for everyone. That’s why we offer comprehensive financial aid and scholarships, with 100% of our students receiving aid. Our team will work with you and your family to ensure that paying for college is manageable and stress-free.

Financial Aid

We make sure college is affordable

All undergraduate students are eligible to receive tuition assistance. 100% of students receive financial aid. No student pays more than $7,000 out of pocket to attend OCU (and that doesn’t include additional aid). To get started, simply file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at studentaid.gov. This form determines eligibility for grants, loans, work-study, and OCU institutional aid. Don’t miss out. File by April 15th to qualify for state aid in Indiana.

Scholarships

The Good Neighbor Scholarship

The Good Neighbor scholarship is the chance to save BIG on tuition for first-time OCU students living within 60 miles of campus and plan to commute.

21st Century Scholarship

The 21st Century scholarship covers full tuition if you’re enrolled in the Indiana 21st Century Scholar program and have met all state requirements.

Diversity in Education Scholarship

The Diversity in Education scholarship is a $500 award that is exclusively for full-time, on-campus freshman and transfer students. Current OCU students are not eligible to apply.

How much will you save?

The welcoming campus, dynamic faculty, and compelling conversations with School of Education leaders inspired me to pursue an Ed.D. Each subsequent visit reinforces my appreciation for the university’s significant impact on my academic journey.
