The Ohio College Opportunity Grant (OCOG) is a need-based financial aid program offered by the Ohio Department of Higher Education to eligible Ohio residents who are pursuing their first undergraduate degree at a participating Ohio college or university. The OCOG award amount varies based on the level of financial need, the cost of attendance at the institution, and the available funding. The maximum award for the 2022-2023 academic year is $2,750.
The application process for the OCOG program involves completing the FAFSA and providing any additional information requested by the participating institution. Students who qualify for the program will be notified of their award amount by their college or university.
