Ohio Northern University
Fall visit dates information ($2,000 scholarships for all who attend):
Ohio Northern University will be hosting Polar Preview Day visit programs on September 21, October 19, and November 9. These Saturday visit days are open to all high school students and their families. The program includes campus tours, information on admissions and financial aid, academic sessions with ONU faculty, and a complimentary lunch. Through our partnership with RaiseMe, all students can earn a $2,000 scholarship to attend ONU for coming to one of our visit days (or a personal campus visit). Register at onu.edu/visit.
(Please note, we are also open most Saturdays throughout the school year for individual visits. We hear from students and parents that we are one of the very few colleges/universities that also offer faculty appointments on Saturdays.)
ONU campus updates:
1) For your students interested in Engineering and Computer Science, we have opened our new state-of-the-art Engineering building. This new facility is able to accommodate 600 students and includes 10,000 square feet of large-scale project and design space for capstone projects and competitive design projects and a state-of-the-art cybersecurity laboratory.
2) The average financial aid package for students entering ONU this fall was $23,500. We continue to offer significant academic scholarships, as well as scholarships for students majoring in the visual and performing arts. In addition, students interested in participating in a music ensemble (including the ONU Marching Band) can earn a scholarship.
3) ONU has recently added a new major in Data Analytics. This interdisciplinary program allows students to choose between four focus areas: geography, marketing, social media, and health informatics.
