Financial Assistance at The College

The College has a program of scholarships and grants. This is gift aid that does not have to be repaid. Institutional aid is awarded in a nondiscriminatory fashion, for recognition in academics and activity participation. The criteria for receiving an award are each student’s prior academic performance or an audition or tryout for the director/coach of a campus activity. Financial need may be considered for a grant from the University. Scholarships are renewable each academic year provided the recipient maintains the appropriate grade point average (GPA) for their scholarship and/or continues participation in their activity. In addition, The College offers the following awards for certain relationships vital to Ottawa University:
