Ohio-Funded Financial Aid

Ohio funds certain financial aid and scholarships for individuals attending the state's higher education institutions. This dashboard displays education and employment related outcomes for Ohio's public college students who receive state-funded financial aid and scholarships. Both Choose Ohio First STEMM scholars' and Ohio College Opportunity Grant (OCOG) recipients' outcomes are reported. More details about these state funding sources are available on the Ohio Higher Education website.

Ohio College Opportunity Grant

Ohio College Opportunity Grant: The OCOG program provides grant money to Ohio residents who demonstrate the highest levels of financial need, as determined by the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), who are enrolled at Ohio public colleges or universities, Ohio private, non-profit colleges or universities, and Ohio private, for-profit institutions.
