Financial Aid at Ottawa University
Ottawa University participates in a variety of financial aid programs, including federal grants and loans, to assist students in obtaining the necessary funds to attend college. Generally speaking, there are three primary types of financial assistance available:
- Grants-including the Federal PELL Grant program awarded on an annual basis.
- Loans-available to students through both federal and private-lending programs.
- Additional Sources of aid such as veteran's benefits, employer reimbursement and local scholarship programs.
We encourage you to make an appointment with the financial services representative at your campus to discuss specific programs for which you may be eligible. Students interested in applying for aid programs should begin by completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which can be done online. Students are encouraged to apply early for aid to ensure that funds are available when needed, as the application process can take up to six weeks.
