Non-Public Application Deadline for 2024-2025: March 15

Non-Public students will need to be accepted into the Trailblazer Academy Program before applying for this State funding. A step by step process has been provided by the State of Ohio and is below for your convenience. Please note the upcoming deadlines.

Award letters indicating the number of credit hours approved for each student should be received in May. Once students receive their award letter, they will be able to enroll in nonsectarian courses (non-religion courses). A copy of this letter must be sent to the University upon receipt in order for the state to fund course(s).

To apply to Ohio Christian University’s Trailblazer Academy program:

  1. Complete the online application
  2. Submit your transcripts (Home School: please include cumulative GPA and contact information for the parent conducting the education. Templates are available below.)
  3. Submit ACT/SAT or AccuPlacer test results if available**
  4. Submit the Permission Slip Mature Content Form below

Since funding will be limited, students may enroll using both state funding and self-pay options. Significantly reduced tuition is available to our self-pay students at $166 per credit hour and no application fee.

Payment for tuition and fees will be available to the student 2 weeks after the add/drop deadline each semester. For payment options, please visit the Financial Aid website or call 1 (740) 477-7716.
