International Undergraduate Scholarship
The Ohio State University is committed to enrolling a diverse and talented student population. This scholarship is offered to qualified full-time, Columbus campus international freshmen (students who
have not attended university since graduating from high school/secondary school) who are required
to pay the nonresident tuition surcharge.
Eligibility: This award is offered on a competitive basis to admitted international freshmen with
ACT composite scores of 26 or higher or combined SAT Critical Reading and Math scores of 1190 or higher.
Award: $6,600 ($26,400 four-year value); this award is renewable provided the recipient continues to pay the nonresident tuition surcharge, maintains a 2.5 or higher grade point average, and makes satisfactory academic progress.
To be considered: Submit the application for admission and all supporting materials by the application deadline.
Note: Transfer students are not eligible for this award.
The quarter system
Ohio State divides the calendar into four academic quarters. Each quarter consists of 10 weeks of classes and one week of final exams. Most students enroll for an "academic year" consisting of three quarters—autumn, winter, and spring—with a break of one to two weeks between quarters. You may also choose to enroll during the summer quarter; however, fewer courses are offered during the summer. The break between summer and autumn is usually three weeks.
- Autumn quarter: September — December
- Winter quarter: January — March
- Spring quarter: March — June
- Summer quarter: June — August
