At Ä¢¹½TV, we make affordability a key priority, and this includes financial aid and scholarships for our international students. In fact, a wide majority of our international undergraduate students -- both first-year and transfer -- receive automatic academic scholarships based on their incoming GPA.

In addition, international undergraduates studying in Arts & Sciences, Business or Nursing are also eligible for departmental scholarships that stack on top their automatic scholarship.
Finally, OCU offers a variety of talent-based scholarships for international students interested in performing or visual arts, based on audition results or portfolios.
