  1. Students are eligible for College Level scholarships within the College of Arts and Sciences after completing 12 hours at OSU. Some exceptions may apply. See specific scholarships for criteria.
  2. Some Departments offer Departmental Level scholarships for students whose major is housed within that specific department. For a complete list, see below.
  3. At the University Level, students are automatically considered based on their OSU admission application. For current and continuing students, please visit OSU Scholarships and Financial Aid.
  4. Other Funding Opportunities

Scholarship honorees.


1. College Level Scholarship Competition

The College of Arts and Sciences is pleased to announce the availability of scholarships for currently enrolled CAS undergraduates who anticipate continuing as full-time students.

 

The CAS scholarship application for continuing students is housed in the Slate portal, and available each year in December, with a deadline in early spring. 

 

This application will ask for all the information you need to apply for our college-level and department-level scholarships. The questions you are asked will be based on your declared major; some CAS departments require additional department-specific questions, while others do not. This means that your friend's application might look different than yours, depending on their major.

 

While the application is not required for college-level scholarships, it is to your advantage to complete it anyway to help us determine which scholarships you qualify for. All CAS undergraduate students who are enrolled full-time, have already completed at least 12 OSU hours and have at least a 2.0 graduation retention and a 2.0 OSU GPA will be considered automatically. The selection process will consider academic merit, financial need and other donor-specified factors.

 

The annual selections are made in February for the following academic year. Students who receive a scholarship will be notified via email in late February.

 

Awards

Individual awards vary in amount. Recipients will receive one-half of the award in the fall, and one-half in the spring, pending continued full-time enrollment in the College of Arts and Sciences. Students are considered for all awards, but may receive no more than one award.
