Students with financial need can receive federal, state and ONU grants. This is money that does not need to be paid back! Every year ONU awards more than $3.5 million in grants to ONU students. Need is the only requirement for these awards, and students are automatically considered based on the FAFSA application. In addition to these general grants, below are specific federal, state and ONU grants that students may quality for.
