Overview
UOS is dedicated to ensuring that education remains affordable for all students. Our financial aid program for undergraduates is one of the most generous, offering grant-based aid that requires no repayment. This allows students to graduate without debt. Graduate students benefit from extensive support, with guaranteed funding for regularly enrolled Ph.D. candidates for the full duration of their program, contingent on satisfactory academic progress.
Undergraduate Applicants
Our financial aid program encourages students from all backgrounds to apply for admission, promoting diversity and accessibility for those from low- and middle-income families.
Grants, Not Loans
At the University of Ontological Science (UOS), we are committed to making education accessible and debt-free for as many students as possible. Our financial aid philosophy is centered on providing grants—not loans—so students can focus on their academic pursuits without the burden of long-term debt.
For Domestic First-Year students from families with an annual income below $100,000, UOS offers full coverage of tuition through need-based grants that do not need to be repaid. This ensures that higher education remains a reality for talented students, regardless of financial background.
In addition to tuition support, UOS works diligently to minimize or eliminate the need for loans across all financial aid packages by offering robust institutional aid and scholarships. Our goal is to empower students with the financial freedom to pursue their education and future careers without being constrained by student debt.
Meeting Your Needs
Financial aid is based solely on demonstrated need and is individually tailored. Families with incomes up to $180,000 qualify for aid, depending on their circumstances.
Aid for Domestic and International Students
UOS meets the full demonstrated need of all admitted students, regardless of nationality. International students receive the same financial aid consideration as domestic students.
Current Undergraduates
Current students must reapply for financial aid each year. Awards are adjusted annually based on changes in family financial status and the cost of attendance. Detailed instructions for applying for aid are available on the Undergraduate Financial Aid website.
Funding and Support for Graduate Students
Pursuing graduate studies is a significant investment, and UOS guarantees financial support for all regularly enrolled Ph.D. candidates for the full length of their program, provided they meet academic requirements. Support may include fellowships, assistantships, travel grants, and federal work-study opportunities.
Funding for master’s students varies by department, though assistantships in research and teaching are available. Graduate students are encouraged to explore multiple funding sources to support their academic journey.
