Cost Overview

Most families pay far less than the $28,180 sticker price at Ohio University. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $13,075 annually after aid. The net price climbs steadily with income, reaching $23,216 for families earning over $110,000. Over four years, costs range from roughly $52,000 to $93,000 depending on family income.

Graduates typically leave with $21,056 in debt, translating to monthly payments of $223. With median earnings of $52,581 ten years out, loan payments consume about 5% of income. Only 20% of students receive Pell Grants, suggesting many families fall into middle-income brackets. The best financial deal goes to low-income Ohio residents who qualify for substantial need-based aid. Out-of-state students pay a $10,000 premium but still benefit from Ohio University's relatively affordable tuition structure compared to many flagship universities.
