Filing the FAFSA isn’t as complicated or time-consuming as it seems – you only need about 6 documents and 22 minutes! In the time it takes you to catch up on your social media feed, you can take the critical first step in getting the money you need to attend college. Here’s a checklist of everything you need: An FSA ID. Your FSA ID allows you to log in to your account, sign the FAFSA and make changes or add schools. You and your parent must create separate FSA IDs. Create this first! You and your parent’s Social Security or Alien Registration number. Here’s what to do if your parent doesn’t have a Social Security number. Driver’s license (if you have one) Your and your parent’s federal income tax returns and W-2s from 2019 (you can use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to import this data!) Bank statement If applicable, other records of money earned, and records of investments and untaxed income (If you are an independent student, you won’t need the items mentioned for parents.)

Ohio Christian University Ranked #1 on Social Mobility by U.S. News  December 1, 2020

Ohio Christian University Ranked #1 on Social Mobility by U.S. News 

U.S. News and World Report recently ranked Ohio Christian University (OCU) as the #1 Top Performer on Social Mobility in the Regional Universities Midwest category. The social mobility indicator measures how successfully colleges graduate economically disadvantaged students who receive need-based federal Pell Grants.   According to U.S. News, “Economically disadvantaged students are less likely than others to finish college. Some colleges are more successful than others at advancing social mobility by enrolling and graduating disadvantaged students awarded with Pell Grants. Students receiving these grants typically come from households whose family incomes are less than $50,000 annually, though most Pell Grant money goes to students with a total family income below $20,000.”  Provost Dr. Bradford Sample explains that OCU has aimed to continually improve the student experience. “We have worked diligently to expand academic support, improve the online and onsite classroom environments, hire diverse instructors, restructure for improved service, and increase academic rigor,” said Sample. “Although we want to assist all students, we’ve taken care to especially focus on activities that would help first-generation students, economically disadvantaged students, and second-chance students returning to college.”  In addition to academic support, students receive quality financial aid guidance as well. “We work hard to counsel and provide every student with all the financial resources at their disposal,” explains Director of Financial Aid Brandon Ritchey. “We strive to keep OCU affordable for students from any economic background.” OCU even offers Payback Promise Loan Repayment Assistance to qualified students.  OCU students can study entirely online, onsite or a combination to meet their needs. Submit our free Fast Application to get started.  The U.S. News and World Report Best Colleges rankings are released yearly and analyze U.S. bachelor’s degree-granting institutions on 17 measures of academic quality. Click here to see Ohio Christian University’s ranking. 

29th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament Raises $30,000 for Students November 13, 2020

29th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament Raises $30,000 for Students

Ohio Christian University’s 29th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament occurred on Friday, October 2nd at the Pickaway Golf Course. Twenty-five four-person teams enjoyed a round of golf raising over $30,000 to fund scholarships for current students. These OCU Scholarships are awarded to current campus students each spring at the Annual Scholarship Banquet. "The golf tournament is one our major fund-raising events for student scholarships,” explained OCU President Dr. Jon Kulaga. “The engagement and generosity of each of the golfers is critical to our ability to assist OCU students with financial needs as they seek to acquire a Christ-centered, Biblically-based education.” Eighteen OCU alumni attended, including 2013 graduate Chris Thompson. “It’s just a great time when you can come and raise money for a good cause,” Thompson said. “Plus, you get to have fun doing it. I enjoy getting out there with alumni of OCU. We laugh, talk about old times, and compete hard to win the prizes.” 1st Place went to the Wint Financial Services Team consisting of Team Leader David Wint, Ty Pell, Chad Wilson and OCU’s Mark Taylor. The Proshield Team, made up of Team Leader Tim Stonerock, Brian Chaney, Gary Young and OCU Golf Coach Brent Martin earned 2nd Place. Neil Uhrig’s team, including Jason Uhrig, Kyle Uhrig and Jerry Mowery, took 3rd Place. Neil is a recently retired member of The Guardians gospel quartet. 2011 graduate Joshua McGrady explained it is important for him to support the Scholarship Golf Tournament because of his experience at OCU. “My time at OCU was so valuable to me. Being able to play four different sports during my time there and the lifelong friends I made because of it are something I can’t put time or a dollar amount to. Being able to reunite and enjoy a day with some of those friends is a highlight of the year for me.” The continuing generosity, camaraderie and goodwill of this tournament’s sponsors and donors is greatly appreciated. OCU would like to extend a special thanks to: All sponsors (to see list, click on pdf below) Corporate Sponsor, Prasco Laboratories Abby Huggins, Manager of the Pickaway Golf Course, for her excellent assistance. Gary Burns, Owner of Circleville Buffalo Wild Wings, for providing a delicious lunch. Kyle Miller of the Arington Foundation for his assistance before, during and after the event.

An Election Message from President Kulaga November 2, 2020

An Election Message from President Kulaga

Last week, Dr. Jon Kulaga, President of Ohio Christian University, sent an email to all faculty, staff, and students regarding the upcoming election. We thought it fitting to share his thoughts today with you, the public. We are so thankful to have this wise man at the helm of the university and hope you are as challenged by his words as we, the university family, were. Dear All, Next week we will be entering another national General Election that will determine who will be the next President of the United States for the next four years.  Tuesday, November 3, 2020 is voting day – so be sure to vote and let your voice be heard.  It’s a great privilege many citizens of other countries do not enjoy. I am writing because, as you may have noticed, the rhetoric leading up to this year’s election has been divisive and toxic.  Both sides can take credit for adding to that evaluation. Friends, and even family members, have been divided by something as secondary to our Christian identity – as who we will be voting for.   No doubt, our nation will remain divided long after November 3rd comes and goes – no matter who gets to live in the big White House come January 2021. And that divisive attitude is our potential as well, at Ohio Christian University.  But it need not be our destiny.  Christian author Philip Yancey has observed that almost all the crimes committed in Christian history have come about when religion is confused and intertwined with politics.   Probably because most of the time, politics runs by rules of ungrace – and there is an allure and temptation to trade grace for power.  And, we, as fallen creatures, can also be tempted to give in to that temptation.  But we need not. Next week our Chapel time on Monday, November 2, 2020 - will be a time of guided prayer (no speakers) – to reflect and to pray for all our local, state and national leaders.  And our country.  We will also want to pray for friends who have surrendered their primary identity in Christ, for a secondary identity in politics, for they will suffer great emotional distress over the election’s results.  Tuesday, November 3, 2020 – will be the day to cast your vote.  On Wednesday, November 4, 2020 – our Chapel time will once again be a time of guided prayer.  To once again, pray for our local, state and national healing.  Post-election Day. Our destiny is not to be a campus divided by politics – but a community united by grace.  So, let’s lean into next week – together – and walk as a community of grace.   And let’s be a LIGHT to a dark world.  And SALT, to a culture that has lost its taste. Praying with, and for, you all, Jon S. Kulaga, Ph.D. President

Trailblazers come up short in 1st round of RSC Tournament

CIRCLEVILLE, OH - The Trailblazers came up short in the final minutes of the 1st Round of the River States Conference tournament. Falling to Asbury University 87-77. The 1st Half would prove to be an absolute grind for both teams with solid offensive and defensive efforts from both groups. Neither team would find a lead greater than 4 in the 1st half, but the Trailblazers would take a 1 point lead going into the break.   "I thought our guys came out ready to compete," said Head Coach Casey Coons, "We spent a lot of time on how we wanted to defend their personnel within their actions and I think we did a solid job of that, for the most part. Offensively, when we moved the ball and were aggressive in our skill sets we got some pretty good looks. I was proud of how hard our guys fought and the energy that we played with for 40 minutes."   The 2nd half would prove to be no different. Through the first 10 minutes of play, Asbury would take a 4 point edge over Ohio Christian. The Trailblazers would continue to fight as Devon Miller (FR/Grove City, OH) grabbed an offensive rebound and layed it in, giving them a 1 point lead with 7:13 to play. The Eagles would quickly answer back with back-to-back 3-pointers giving them a 5 point lead.    The Trailblazers continued to fight, but sadly came up short in the end. The Asbury Eagles advance to the 2nd round of the River States Conference tournament, ending the season for the Trailblazers.    "We have a great group of guys that want to grow and are going to continue to put in the work. I'm proud of how our guys handled so much adversity in such a weird season. We're extremely proud of our senior, Gabe Casey (SR/West Jefferson, OH), for the value he's added to our program on and off the court and we're excited to bring the rest of our roster back next year." - Coach Casey   The Trailblazer starting 5 would all score in the double digits, led by Devon Miller with 17 (Lowe 15, Burns 13, Woods 12, Barksdale 11).    The Eagles would be led offensively by Nick Fort (27 pts, 8 reb) and Eric Powell (26 pts, 5 reb).   For more on the Trailblazer Basketball Program and the rest of Ohio Christian University Athletics, follow us on Twitter (@OCUTrailblazers), Facebook (Ohio Christian University Trailblazers), and Youtube (Ohio Christian University Trailblazers)
