Every student is highly encouraged to file the FAFSA to be considered for the most financial aid (including scholarships, grants, loans and Federal Work-Study).
Two things to know:
- You must file the FAFSA each year.
- Ohio State’s priority date for filing the FAFSA is March 15. You can still submit your FAFSA after that date, but filing before will give you priority aid consideration.
