At the University of Cincinnati, we believe all students should have equal opportunities to receive a quality education, regardless of income. That’s why we are committed to making your college education as affordable as we can. Through the financial aid process and our Co-op Program, we’re here to help you reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
Did you know nearly all students are eligible for financial assistance? Financial aid can be provided in the form of scholarships, grants, work-study and loans. At UC, we take it one step further by allowing students to also offset costs through paid co-op experiences.
Your financial aid offer may include any or a combination of the above funding sources. To see if you’re eligible for financial aid, view the requirements.
