International Student Grant

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.

  • Be a non-immigrant international student in F-1 or J-1 status
  • Be currently enrolled at Ohio State in a degree-granting program
  • Have never received an Office of International Affairs grant before in current degree level
  • Be within one semester of graduation or have a compelling, unforeseen emergency
  • Have demonstrated financial need to complete current degree
  • Have a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 for undergraduates or 3.0 for graduates
