The College of Wooster has established the “Tuition Free Guarantee” for students who are eligible for the Ohio College Opportunity Grant.

The OCOG program, administered by the Ohio Department of Education, “provides grant money to Ohio residents who demonstrate the highest levels of financial need as determined by the results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid,” according to ohiohighered.org.

Due to Wooster alumni, this new financial support is in addition to the financial aid and scholarships provided by the college. The entire cost of tuition will now be covered with grants and scholarships.

This new policy will provide greater accessibility to those interested in acquiring a liberal arts education from a nationally ranked private institution, as Wooster’s cost is now virtually identical to public schools for eligible students.

“Wooster has a long history of providing access to talented students from around the globe, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. We are pleased to take this additional step to make it easier for great students from Ohio to join us. We look forward to the perspectives and ideas they will bring to our community,” said Sarah Bolton, president of Wooster.

In order to be eligible, students must submit their FAFSA by the appropriate deadline each year. The 2020-21 form will be available Oct. 1.

The College of Wooster is America’s premier college for mentored undergraduate research. Founded in 1866, the college enrolls approximately 2,000 students.
