Financial Aid
Adequate financing for the DVM program is essential. Applicants seeking financial assistance should file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The applicant should request that reports be sent to OSU in order to guarantee consideration for financial aid if admitted. Make sure to include OSU on the schools tab by entering school code 003210. WICHE applicants also need to have reports sent to OSU to be considered for financial aid.
Veterinary Medicine students may receive up to $40,500 in Unsubsidized Federal Direct student loans for years on through three and up to $47,167 for year four. If you require more loans beyond the unsubsidized loan, you may want to consider the Graduate PLUS loan. The Grad PLUS loan is a credit-checked loan which can bridge the gap between the unsubsidized loan and your estimated total cost of attendance. Apply on studentaid.gov in May after your submit your FAFSA and receive your award offer from OSU in late April/early May.
Students may also want to consider private student loans, which would be an educational loan from a bank, credit union or private lending institution. Credit checks and a cosigner may be required depending on the lender.
Further information on available financial assistance can be obtained from the OSU Office of Financial Aid.
*An average amount is built in for loan recipients to cover Federal Ford Direct Loan fees, this amount may vary.
Scholarships
Thanks to generous gifts from donors and organizations, the college gives more than $350,000 in scholarships annually to students in the DVM program who meet the criteria established for each of the awards. Students participate in the scholarship process by completing a general application form which is provided by the Dean's Office in December and has a return date of February. The college's Scholarship and Awards Committee reviews the applications and makes the awards. (Scholarships are then applied to students' OSU accounts for their tuition expenses the next academic year.) Merit and interest awards are announced at the annual awards ceremony in May. Academic excellence, leadership and community outreach awards are given to each class. All students qualify for research excellence awards.
Information on external scholarships for veterinary students can be found through the American Veterinary Medical Foundation.
