Does your institution allow prospective students to stay overnight in your residence halls? Financial Aid Why is there a difference in price between public and independent institutions? The cost of providing higher education is generally the same at independent colleges and universities as at public universities For example, both types of institutions incur costs associated with building and maintaining classrooms, residence halls, computer facilities and libraries; paying faculty salaries; and providing career and counseling services However, private institutions charge a higher price, or tuition, because they not receive an instructional subsidy from the state Apply to colleges that best fit personal needs, regardless of price The ability to pay for a college education is likely to be an important factor in selecting a college or university However, the price of a particular institution should not prevent a student from applying to the schools of his or her choice Every student should apply to the colleges that best suit his or her academic, social and personal needs, regardless of the price, because financial aid can make it affordable to attend A variety of financial aid is available College financial aid programs help families meet the costs of education beyond their demonstrated ability to pay Institutional need-based and non-need-based financial aid (scholarships, merit, athletic, leadership awards, etc.) combined with state and federal scholarships, grants, loans and work-study programs make up a financial aid package and help defray the cost of attending college The college will make every effort to compile a suitable financial aid package for the student and family so that the price of a college education does not become an overriding factor in choosing an institution Complete the FAFSA Ohio’s independent colleges and universities strongly recommend prospective students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) To qualify for some state and federal grant and loan programs, students should complete the FAFSA as soon after October as possible Families can complete it online at: http://www.fafsa.gov or obtain copies of the form by contacting a college financial aid office Some colleges and universities also require a supplemental or institutional financial aid form Students should contact the college financial aid offices to learn which financial aid forms are required and the deadlines for submission See the video tutorial at https://www.finaid.ucsb edu/fafsasimplification/ Financial Aid Financial Aid at Ohio’s Independent Colleges Worried about financial aid? Independent institutions give out $400 million in school-based grants to freshmen Just ask their financial aid counselors for more information! In AY 2018-2019, 97% of full-time, first-time freshmen entering AICUO member campuses received financial aid, averaging $25,686 Supporting Our Own Students Aid Eligibility At Ohio independents, institutions provide out of every 10 financial aid dollars to freshmen Generally, a student’s demonstrated need is equal to the difference between the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and the total cost of education (which includes tuition and fees, room and board or off-campus living expenses, and books) All schools work to award aid to meet the gap between the cost of attendance and EFC, but not all have the same types or amounts of aid available EFC does not change from school to school, but demonstrated need will First-time, full-time student aid grants by source at AICUO members, 2017–18 Federal grants $34 million 8% State/local grants 2% $11 million Sample Demonstrated Need School A Cost of Education 90% - Family’s EFC = Demonstrated Need School B School C $13,715 $34,387
