Scholarships
New scholarship tool, ScholarshipUniverse, replaces the Special Scholarship Application
ScholarshipUniverse is a scholarship-matching tool that connects Buckeyes to university and university vetted external scholarships.
To apply each year, file the FAFSA and complete the ScholarshipUniverse application by the priority date of February 1.
ScholarshipUniverse is also used to apply for Cooperative Scholarship Housing on the Columbus campus. These need and merit-based housing options include the Stadium Scholarship Program and Alumnae Scholarship Housing for women.
QuoteThe Meijer Scholarship took a financial burden off my shoulders and has allowed me to really focus on my studies rather than stressing overpaying for my schooling. I can explore various opportunities on and off campus without worrying if I’d be able to afford them. It also made me realize that all my hard work in high school paid off. I was and always will be incredibly thankful that my dedication was recognized

QuoteReceiving the Meijer Scholarship truly impacted my undergraduate studies. Not only did it help me pay for books, but when classes switched to being online two springs ago, I was able to use some of the funds to finally buy a laptop. I used to frequently use the public computers on campus and buying the laptop made it easier for me to access my zoom courses or even take exams as smoothly as my peers when doing work from home. I was also grateful for the opportunity to be able to speak with the wonderful people that work at Meijer, and they offered wonderful advice about the field of Pharmacy.

QuoteThe William Craig Orr and Mary Black Orr scholarship was a decisive factor in my decision to come to Ohio State. Along with the supportive and academically rigorous BSPS community, this scholarship helped relieve my family from extra student loan debt. Moreover, the scholarship provided valuable time that I can use to join organizations, volunteer, research, hang out with friends, and study. Now, I have less stress and more flexibility in discovering new opportunities and passions at Ohio State. Please don’t be discouraged from applying because this is a unique scholarship that the College of Pharmacy provides to BSPS students.
