Living Expenses - The budgeted amounts for living expenses are standard for all graduate and professional students at The Ohio State University.  If you have questions about the budgeted amounts, you may contact Financial Aid.

Health Insurance - All students at The Ohio State University are required to have health insurance; however, this is not included in the standard cost of attendance, as the plan and responsible party varies for each student.  To inquire about how to obtain financial aid to fund this expense, please contact Financial Aid.  More information about the University's health insurance plans is available on the Student Health Insurance Office's website.

Loupes Eyewear - First year dental students are not required to purchase specialized eyewear, but may find it helpful during the course of their education. Since it is not a requirement, it is not included in the standard cost of attendance. To inquire about how to obtain financial aid to fund this expense, please contact Financial Aid.
