Getting help

Once you have an idea of what you’ll pay to attend college, it’s time to figure out where that money will come from. Today, more than half of Oakland University students are attending with the help of financial assistance totaling more than $100 million. You can benefit from those funds, too; all you need to do is apply.

The largest source of financial aid is the U.S. Department of Education. Federal and state programs support access to higher education for all students regardless of financial need. Oakland University, state programs and several other agencies and organizations support funding for financial aid programs.

Types of financial aid

Scholarships: Awarded on the basis of academic accomplishments and do not require repayment. Be sure to check out OU's academic merit scholarships for freshmen and transfers, which are for students who demonstrate consistent academic excellence.

Grants: Usually based on financial need and do not require repayment. Oakland offers several grant programs, including academic, housing, a 100% Tuition Grant and a Special Assistance Fund award for those who demonstrate financial need.

Loans: Subsidized loans are based on financial need. They require repayment after graduation, but interest does not begin to accrue until repayment begins. Unsubsidized loans are not based on financial need. They require repayment after graduation, and interest begins accruing immediately. Parents of undergraduate students may be eligible for a federal PLUS loan. Interest rates on subsidized, unsubsidized loans and parent loans are low.

Federal Work-Study and on-campus employment: Part-time employment on campus for students who demonstrate financial need (determined by your FAFSA). Eligibility to work in a Federal Work-Study position requires a Federal Work-Study award, which are given on a first-come, first-served basis. Many Oakland students work on campus even if they don’t receive federal or Michigan work-study as part of their financial aid award package. Job openings for students are posted online at OU CareerLink.

The FAFSA

Start by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to see how much federal and/or state financial aid is available to you. Even if you think your family’s finances are too high to qualify for financial aid, it’s important to fill out the FAFSA. Most applicants who apply for financial aid through the FAFSA qualify to receive at least an unsubsidized loan, which is not based on financial need. Often other grants, work-study opportunities and subsidized loans are offered, as well. You are not bound to accept any loans or other forms of financial aid offered through the FAFSA.

You can complete the FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov. To submit your FAFSA electronically, you’ll first apply for a Personal Identification Number (PIN), which will act as your official, electronic signature on the online form. To apply for a PIN, go to www.pin.ed.gov. To maximize your financial aid award package, you should fill out the FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1 for the upcoming academic year. Be sure to include OU’s federal school code (002307) in the appropriate section of the FAFSA.

Although you do not need to complete tax returns before you submit the FAFSA, it is important for your FAFSA to be accurate. You can estimate your income for the year based on pay stubs, W-2s, or other documentation; but after you or your parent files tax returns, you must correct any estimated income on your FAFSA based on the final income information as calculated for your tax return. The U.S. Department of Education uses your income level and other factors to determine your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Your financial need is the difference between your estimated cost of attendance at Oakland University and your EFC.

You must fill out a FAFSA each year you wish to be considered for financial aid.

When it comes to the total cost to attend college, Oakland University remains a bargain compared to Michigan's other public research universities, partly because Oakland is the only school that has no fees (no registration fee, recreation fee, health fee, course fee, program fee, technology fee, etc.)

To keep education costs easy to understand and affordable, OU students simply pay tuition. Oakland offers the sixth lowest all-in cost to students for the 2012-13 academic year. The total cost to attend, in fact, is nearly one-third less than the state's highest all-in price and $725 less than the average.

The average annual cost for undergraduate students in the 2012-13 academic year is $10,706 (based on 30 credit hours).

While you don't need to worry about any hidden fees at Oakland, you should consider other costs of attending college such as living arrangements and textbooks. The cost of books and supplies will vary depending on the courses you take, but a general estimate is $1,362 per year. Double occupancy on-campus room and board is estimated to be $8,207 per year. See OU's cost of attendance site for more information and estimates.

OU's cost per credit hour differs depending on your residency and class standing. Many out-of-state students (including citizens of Canada and Mexico) qualify for a scholarship that covers the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition. See the scholarship tab for more information.

Students who plan to attend Oakland University on a student visa (F-1) or an exchange visa (J-1) should check the tuition and cost tab in the international section of this website for prospective students.

While on-campus housing is not required at Oakland, more than 2,000 students choose to live on OU's beautiful campus and enjoy benefits like wireless Internet, cable TV, lounges with big screens, free parking and free laundry facilities. Students who live on campus can also take advantage of OU Housing's employment and leadership opportunities.

Students can also get help from The Tutoring Center tutors right in their residence hall. With five residence halls, six student apartment buildings, a grouping of townhomes, and several learning communities, OU offers enough options to provide the perfect fit for you.

On-campus dining options include an all-you-can-eat dining hall and a mall-style food court. Learn more about our meal plans.

Double occupancy on-campus room and board is estimated to be $8,576 per year.
