Ohio State Grants

These programs are awarded by the State of Ohio to full-time undergraduate students, who are residents of Ohio, pursuing a first bachelor's degree or associate degree.  Part-time Ohio Grants are awarded to students enrolled less than full-time who otherwise would have been eligible for a full-time Ohio Grant (subject to availability of funds).  You must file the FAFSA by October 1 of each year to be considered for an Ohio grant.

The Ohio Instructional Grant (OIG) is being phased out and replaced by the Ohio College Opportunity Grant (OCOG).  Students with enrollment records that pre-date the 2006-2007 school year will be considered for an OIG.  Students with no enrollment record prior to 2006-2007 will be considered for an OCOG.  For awarding purposes, the Ohio Instructional Grant is calculated using parent's (dependent student) or student's (independent student) Adjusted Gross Income.  Eligibility for the Ohio College Opportunity Grant is derived using the applicant's Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
