Otterbein Financial Aid

Paying for college is expensive.  We have talked about that a lot - which is why it is important to seek out all funding opportunities such as applying to scholarships and applying for financial aid.

Otterbein University recently made a huge announcement that they are the first university in Ohio to meet the full cost of tuition without the use of loans for the state's lowest income students.  This is typically for families making less than $30,000 per year.  They also have a tuition coverage program that does include loans for those families making less than $60,000 a year.

It is a amazing when a college is able to help make tuition affordable or free for families so that students can take every opportunity to attend even when finances initially might make it seem as if a private college education was out of reach.  It's an important reminder that you shouldn't just look at the sticker prices of a college when trying to decide where you will apply.

On a totally different note, how much do you wish today's snow had been on a school day?!?  :-)  I know... me too.  Hopefully we will get a snow day some time this year!  Fingers crossed.
