Scholarships for biology and zoology students are awarded by OSU and the College of Science. First-years are eligible for OSU Scholarships only and they should work with the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships on their options and be aware of the OSU scholarship renewal criteria.
After the first year, students are eligible for College of Science Scholarships (COS). Applications for the College of Science Scholarships are available each winter and due in the spring, and the single application grants access to hundreds of scholarship opportunities for continuing students. Other scholarships opportunities can be researched at the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships and the list below. Students seeking nationally and internationally competitive scholarships or support for going abroad should connect with National and Global Scholarships Advising.
