Ohio State University-Marion Campus

What is the cost of studying for a year at Ohio State University-Marion Campus?

For 2024-25, reported full-time undergraduate tuition and required fees at Ohio State Marion totaled $9,488 for Ohio residents: $9,205 in tuition plus $283 in fees. The corresponding reported out-of-state total was $38,270. Residency classification therefore makes a major difference to the published price.

• Ohio-resident undergraduate tuition and required fees: $9,488 for 2025-26.
• Out-of-state undergraduate tuition and required fees: $38,270 for 2025-26.
• Reported room-and-board budgeting figure: $12,394; this should not be mistaken for a Marion residence-hall charge.
• Reported books-and-supplies figure: $1,030.

Tuition is only part of an annual budget. Commuters may need to pay for transportation, parking-related costs, meals, and housing away from campus, as well as personal expenses. The listed room-and-board and book figures come from the same reporting period but do not cover all of those costs; adding tuition alone to a housing estimate would not produce a complete cost of attendance.

Financial aid can change what a student ultimately pays. Reported average net prices - the cost remaining after grant and scholarship aid under the applicable reporting method - were $8,263 for students from families earning up to $48,000 and $9,069 for those in the $48,001-$75,000 band. These are averages for income groups, not individual quotes. Eligible students may seek federal grants and loans, Ohio aid, and Ohio State scholarships by following the university's financial-aid instructions, including its FAFSA guidance. A personal aid offer and a realistic commuting budget are more useful for decision-making than the sticker price alone.

What are the work-study opportunities at Ohio State University-Marion Campus?

Ohio State Marion students can look for part-time employment, including university student jobs, while eligible students may also qualify for Federal Work-Study. Work-Study is need-based financial aid that allows a student to earn wages through an approved job; it is not money automatically credited in full to a tuition bill.

Students seeking Work-Study should follow Ohio State's FAFSA and financial-aid instructions, check their aid offer for eligibility, and apply for openings through the university's student-employment process. Jobs outside Work-Study may have different eligibility and funding rules. An internship, meanwhile, is principally a learning or career-development experience and is not necessarily a paid student job.

For career planning, Ohio State students can use university career resources for such tasks as exploring majors and occupations, preparing application materials, and searching for opportunities. Marion students should confirm which appointments and employer events are available locally or remotely rather than assuming every Columbus-based service meets in Marion. Career support is a service, not evidence of a particular job-placement or earnings outcome.
