Military Education Benefits Accepted
Additionally, OCU accepts all applicable military benefits (e.g. veteran education benefits, Ohio National Guard Scholarship program, etc.) It is important for you to obtain, complete, and submit the appropriate forms for your benefits to be secured. This process can take several weeks, so we encourage you to get started as soon as possible. To begin the process, the student should contact his or her respective educational liaison within the appropriate military organization. Guidance on this process can be provided by our OCU Financial Aid office by email at finaid@ohiochristian.edu or by phone at (740) 420-5944. OCU has trained specialists ready to serve you!
If you are eligible for military assistance, both from the institution or the VA, you can submit your approval documents through the secure student portal.
OCU is a Yellow Ribbon Program Participant
Ohio Christian will contribute up to $8500 in the rare case that tuition exceeds the maximum amount covered by the GI Bill® in an academic year.

We hope to serve you in the near future at OCU
