The Financial Aid Office at Lima is here to assists students and their families with services that can help every qualified student enroll. Financial aid is made accessible to remove the cost barriers that may prohibit you from accomplishing your educational goals. Assistance is available from an array of programs funded by federal, state, university and private sources. Students who demonstrate significant financial need may qualify for grants while students with less need may obtain low interest loans. It is our goal to try to make it financially possible for all students to "BE A BUCKEYE" and meet their educational goals.

To receive financial aid from an Ohio State University campus, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). See How to Apply.

Eligibility for financial aid is determined by the amount that remains after the student's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is subtracted from the cost of attendance. The cost of attendance is the amount the University estimates the student will spend to attend college for one academic year. The cost of attendance includes the basic state University fees, various campus-based fees, room and board, books, supplies, transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses.
