S-SAS Scholarship Services

The mission of our Scholarship Services unit is to help students maximize their financial aid opportunities and reduce indebtedness.

The Office of Diversity and Inclusion offers resources and individual guidance on financial aid and scholarships to students registered in the following programs: ACCESS Collaborative, Bell National Resource Center, James L. Moore III Scholars Program, LSAMP, Latine Student Services, Morrill Scholars Program, URM Regional Campus Transitioners, and Young Scholars Program.

We also offer guidance to students, parents and ODI colleagues in understanding Title IV (federal), Ohio Department of Higher Education (state), and Ohio State University (institutional) funding policies/procedures/regulations. In addition, we provide our student support completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), assistance with financial aid verification, and with the ScholarshipUniverse application by the university deadline.
