Bringing Down the Cost

OCU Scholarships
We award many different scholarships to help you pay for college based on one of several factors: Athletic involvement, Past academic performance, General Baptist Church membership, Military service, or Minority group representation.
These are just a few types of OCU scholarships. In addition, many scholarships are available from the state of Indiana (such as through the 21st Century Scholars program) and other sources.
Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP)
As an LRAP partner, OCU can help protect your financial future. LRAP is a financial safety net that helps you pay back student loans if you earn too little to handle payments (if you follow your passion into a career that is highly fulfilling, but low-paying in the early years).
Ask about LRAP during loan entrance counseling.
