We urge you to contact us as soon as possible. Financial assistance programs can be complex; we’ll help you navigate the information so that a financial assistance package can be tailored to meet your particular situation. We’re committed to exploring every avenue with you to make OWU a reality.
Keep in mind:
- Students are selected on academic promise and desire to succeed. That means there are no absolute income caps on most financial aid programs.
- More than two-thirds of our students receive assistance based on need.
- About 95 percent of the students within the entering class receive financial assistance.
- More than one-third take advantage of structured discounts, payment plans, and low-interest loans.
From scholarships to loans to flexible payment plans, this site provides you with some of the available financial assistance options that we work with and that you should know about.
