Tuition and Fees
Students in the MCR program complete a prescribed curriculum, which includes either 12 or 24 month plans.
Since the MCR coursework is offered through distance learning, students enrolled in exclusively online courses do not pay for campus based services, such as the Student Union Fee. Learning technology fees are required.
A breakdown of the fees associated with Nursing can be found on the College website under the Student Affairs/Financial Aid/Tuition section. To access the current tuition table for graduate nursing please visit the Registrar’s Fee Tables.
Students who are employed at the university or Wexner Medical Center at an FTE of 75% or greater and wish to take advantage of the employee tuition assistance program may have additional information and forms to process. Please visit the HR website or speak with your HR representative for more information.
Financial Aid
To be eligible for financial aid, students must be enrolled in a minimum of 4 credit hours. Students taking less than 4 credit hours are not eligible for aid.
For information regarding different forms of Financial Aid please visit the Student Affairs/Financial Aid/Tuition section of the Nursing website. Additional information on federal financial aid can be found in the Financial Aid PDF linked below.

College of Nursing Scholarships
Thanks in large part to generous private donors, the College of Nursing has a number of scholarships available to our students currently enrolled in one of the college’s degree granting programs. Some of these are need-based and require completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the priority deadline. Continuing students are invited to submit the scholarship application to be considered for need-based and/or merit-based scholarships. These funds are limited and preference is given to full-time, degree-seeking students who are continuously enrolled. Students exclusively enrolled in a pre-major or certificate program are not eligible to apply for these opportunities.
Directions for students:
- Log in to ScholarshipUniverse using your Ohio State username (lastname.#) and password.
- Take the time to answer questions about yourself to build your profile. By integrating data from your admissions application, student record and self-reported information, ScholarshipUniverse will match you with scholarship opportunities.
- Once you are matched to a scholarship, follow prompts to complete the College of Nursing Scholarship Application.
The scholarship application is now open until June 30, 2024 on ScholarshipUniverse. For more information visit https://nursing.osu.edu/students/getting-started/financial-aid/scholarships.
Graduate Associateships
The College of Nursing may employ a limited number graduate students as Graduate Teaching Associates (GTAs) on a yearly basis. Applications are available each spring semester and the most up-to-date information is posted to our website. Students are welcome to explore other graduate associateship opportunities with other departments and areas within the university, however, there is not a centralized location for these opportunities. Students are encouraged to conduct their own search to locate and apply for these opportunities.
