To align with our mission of access to excellence, The Ohio State University at Lima will cover the $60 application fee for first-year applicants who apply directly to our campus between October 1 and December 1, 2026. Ohio State Lima is already dedicated to providing Ohio students and families with an excellent college education at one of the lowest tuition rates in the state.
The app fee waiver applies to students applying to any of the regional campuses. Applicants can enter fee waiver code RCW2027 when prompted in the online application to the regional campus of choice by December 1, 2026.
This fee waiver code is exclusively available for first-year applicants to an Ohio State regional campus in Lima, Mansfield, Marion, or Newark, or ATI in Wooster. Note: Those planning to apply to the Columbus campus should submit the Common Application and not an application to a regional campus.
