The Office of International Affairs awards partial tuition grants each semester to international students at The Ohio State University. These grants are intended to help international students within two semesters of graduation who have demonstrated financial need to complete their degrees.
There is a limit of one grant award per degree level. Applicants will be notified by email regarding the grant committee's decision. All decisions are final. Grants will be deposited directly into students' accounts under Fees and Deposits.
