Non-OSU Scholarship Opportunities
OSU's Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid receives information on scholarships offered by professional organizations, foundations, and corporations that may benefit OSU's students. These links will take you to brief descriptions of these scholarships, including application and contact information. We have provided as much information as we can to help you contact the offering organization in case you have questions about eligibility, procedure, etc.; however, you are responsible for meeting any scholarship's requirements.
In most cases, OSU is not the sponsoring organization. While we make every effort to ensure that this information is correct, the offering organization is always the final authority regarding scholarship amounts, deadlines, eligibility criteria, and other relevant information. OSU is not responsible for incorrect information listed here.
We also recommend pursuing non-OSU scholarships through the following:- high school guidance counselor,
- local library,
- civic and service organizations,
- internet search using "scholarship" as the keyword, and
- independent scholarship search engines.
