As a prospective incoming freshman for the 2023–2024 academic year, you can use this calculator to make an early estimate of your total cost of attending The Ohio State University. The calculator is
designed to estimate costs and eligibility for financial aid based on the information you enter about yourself and your family.
This tool is intended to provide general guidance in planning your educational financing and is not an application
for financial aid. The results are an estimate based on the projected 2023–2024 award amounts and costs. Results do not represent any guarantee of your annual costs or any guarantee of your actual financial aid.
Your actual financial aid eligibility will be determined by the university.
Note:
The results are dependent on the accuracy and completeness of the information you enter.
This calculator assesses eligibility for Ohio State merit-based and need-based aid, federal student aid and the state of Ohio grant. Amounts are estimates based on previous year's actual financial aid.
This calculator estimates college costs for new, first-year, full-time undergraduate students (freshmen)
in 2023–2024. Current students and prospective transfer students should visit Ohio State's
Student Financial Aid website for information on available financial aid.
There are a number of additional scholarships for which you may be eligible.
However, the information you provide is general and not enough for us to evaluate your eligibility for all scholarships. Once you have completed the
Net Price Calculator, links will be provided for more information.
