What is it?

The Ohio Instructional Grant Program (OIG) provides need-based tuition assistance to full-time undergraduate students from low and moderate income families. This program is intended to expand access to higher education by bringing the cost of college within reach of more Ohio families. Awards are based on family income with consideration given to the number of dependents in the family. Benefits are restricted to the student's instructional and general fee charges.

Who is eligible?   

Recipients must be Ohio residents. 

How do I apply?  

Students apply for OIG benefits by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The State will then select the recipients from the FAFSA's received.

Is there a deadline?   

The application deadline is October 1 of each year.
