What a public college in Ohio costs

A public four-year college in Ohio averaged $10,922 in tuition and fees and $13,500 for a dorm and meals in 2022-23, about $24,422 a year before any aid, more than the national public average of $22,389. That is the newest federal figure published for every state, so today's prices run higher. The homepage works out what is left after Ohio's own state aid for your student's grades and scores, college by college.

Questions families ask

Why only 3 here?

The full list, with each one's rules and deadlines, is the product. We read each one from the sponsor's own page and recheck it on a schedule, and that work is what the $149 board pays for. The 3 above show the list is real; the board shows which of the 10 your student fits.

Does every student in Pike County fit all 10?

No. Most local scholarships add their own rules on top of where you live: one high school, a GPA floor, a planned major, a parent who is a member or a customer. The board asks about those once and shows the ones your student fits, with what each one still asks you to check.

How current is this?

Counted from our catalog on November 2, 2026. We add new local scholarships every week, so the numbers here usually go up.

Counts, amounts and deadline months come from each sponsor's own published rules and can change without notice. Totals add one winner of each scholarship; sponsors that do not publish an amount are not counted in the dollar total. A deadline month is from the most recent cycle we could find. College prices are estimates to plan with, not a quote. Confirm anything you act on with the sponsor or the college.
