Financial Aid

Welcome to Student Financial Aid for the College of Dentistry at The Ohio State University

The College of Dentistry is dedicated to supporting each student in pursuing their dental education by providing access to financial assistance through federal loans, scholarships, and other funding opportunities. Financial aid is awarded based on individual need and in accordance with federal, state, university, and College of Dentistry policies.

Investing in your dental education is a significant financial commitment, and we're here to help you navigate your options. Our office serves as a key resource, connecting you to available funding sources and equipping you with the knowledge needed to make informed financial decisions. Since financial aid policies and regulations are subject to change, we encourage students to stay informed and proactive in exploring their options.

Contact Information

Due to FERPA regulations, you must send any financial aid-related emails from your OSU email address.
