Whether you're the parent of a newly admitted freshman or a current OSU student, we're here to help make OSU an affordable option for your family. These tips for parents can help you navigate your way through the financial aid process.

Parent Forms

In some cases, we must verify the accuracy of the information submitted on the FAFSA or as a part of the scholarship process. We may ask parents to complete a form to help in that process.


Determining your cost

The cost of attending OSU varies based on your student's program of study, in- or out-of-state status, housing and meal choices, transportation and other expenses, and the financial aid your family is eligible to receive.

You can determine what your cost will be with these tools:

Cost of attendance

Find your student's estimated costs based on his/her student type. 

Net price calculator

Get a sense of what financial aid and scholarships might be in addition to cost for future students.
