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. If you paid cash for
instructional expenses at C of O, it would cost you $16,600 per year! Don’t
panic! Our students work off a portion of this charge by participating in the
work program during the academic year (about $4,060 annually). 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 (a range from $1,440 to $12,540 per 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….approximately $16,600 per year for each student. 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.
