The Ohio State University’s Office of International Affairs is dedicated to supporting international students through partial tuition grants each semester. These grants are designed to assist students with demonstrated financial need who are within one semester of completing their degree. While the grant funds are limited and not intended to cover the entire cost of tuition and fees, they can provide valuable financial assistance to deserving individuals. It is important to note that the grants are limited to one award per student per degree level, so applicants should apply judiciously and only in cases of genuine need or emergency.
To be eligible for the OSU Student Grant, applicants must meet specific requirements, including being a non-immigrant international student in F-1 or J-1 status, currently enrolled in a degree program, and within one semester of graduation. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate financial need, maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 for undergraduates or 3.0 for graduates, and submit a comprehensive application package. This package should include an International Student Grant Application, a detailed letter explaining the need for the grant and how it will be utilized, and any supplementary documentation to bolster the case for financial assistance.
If you meet the criteria and are interested in applying for the OSU Student Grant, visit the Ohio State University’s Office of International Affairs website at oia.osu.edu for more information and to submit your application. While the application deadline is not specified, it is advisable to apply early and ensure all required documentation is provided to increase your chances of being considered for this valuable financial support opportunity.
