WHAT FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID IS AVAILABLE TO U.S. GRADUATE STUDENTS AT OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY?
For graduate applicants, most financial aid is available in the form of University Fellowships and graduate associateships. Please refer to the financial aid section of our website and the Graduate School website. U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible to apply for government-sponsored loans (which must be repaid). The maximum combination of subsidized Stafford loans available for graduate study is $8,500 for a 12 month academic year. An additional $10,000 in unsubsidized loans may be borrowed by graduate students who qualify. In addition, $4,000 per year may be earned through the government sponsored Federal Work Study Program, also limited to US citizens and permanent residents who qualify. Applicants should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). To obtain the FAFSA and to learn more about the above programs as well as other opportunities for loans, please contact: Office of Student Financial Aid 517 Lincoln Tower 1800 Cannon Drive Columbus, OH 432
