This type of award, if available at lower cost institutions, is often more limited in amount. Student's eligibility for this loan is greater at Ohio Northern than for an institution with lower total costs. Ohio Northern University uses an inclusive fee, where many state institutions and some private institutions have a series of user fees. By including this in the general comprehensive fee at Ohio Northern, the amount the student will have to pay on campus is reduced. Quality of education and educational environment are highly important factors in comparing colleges.
Costs are another highly important consideration.
Ohio Northern University cannot provide a superior education at costs, which are substantially lower than those of other institutions. The programs outlined in this booklet describe the means by which the University attempts to equalize costs, thereby permitting young women and men to take advantage of the fine educational opportunities, which are available at Ohio Northern University.
