Students attending Ohio public institutions will be funded 83 percent of tuition and general fees, and students attending private institutions will receive an annual award amount of $6,490 for the year. Applicants must be enrolled for undergraduate study and pursuing an associate or bachelor's degree at an eligible college or university. The application process only requires four forms.
