College of the Ozarks Cost of Education Scholarship
Students don’t pay tuition at C of O! How does that work?
Basically……
Work Program + Federal and State Grants + College of the Ozarks
Scholarship = Your annual tuition!
Each student participates in the on-campus work program for 15 hours per week and two forty-hour work weeks. Earnings from participation in the work program, plus any federal and/or state aid for which students qualify, plus a College of the Ozarks Cost of Education Scholarship combine to meet each student’s full tuition charge.
Generous donors, who believe in what College of the Ozarks represents, make financial contributions, enabling the College to provide tuition (cost of education) scholarships in exchange for work on campus. Our students work off a portion of this charge by participating in the
work program during the academic year. If students qualify for Federal or Missouri state aid, those amounts are applied to the
cost as well. The remaining balance is covered by a College of the Ozarks Scholarship for each student!
So how much money do you pay for tuition at C of O? $0.00!
What is the College of the Ozarks Cost of Education Scholarship?
This is a term you’ll become familiar with if you attend Hard Work U. The “Cost of Education” is the cost to the College for providing an educational opportunity. Most institutions pass along a portion of this cost as tuition; this is not the case at College of the Ozarks. The College guarantees to meet all of this cost for each full-time student by using earnings from its endowment, operation of its own mandatory student work program, accepting student aid grants, gifts
and other sources. Each full-time student's Cost of Education is met 100% by participating in the work program, and a combination of private, institutional and federal/state student aid. The institutional aid provided for each student is the College of the Ozarks Scholarship.
