Institutional Assistance

All institutional assistance requires enrollment in at least 12 credit hours each fall and spring semester and "good standing" (financial, academic, and behavioral) status with the school. Institutional aid is not normally available in the summer term.

Academic Scholarships
The Admissions Office at O'More offers 4-year scholarships in varying amounts to incoming freshmen and transfer students. Scholarships are competitive and are based on a point system derived from high school and/or college GPA and SAT/ACT scores. Upon acceptance to O'More, students are automatically evaluated for an Academic Scholarship—no scholarship application is needed. Renewal requires a 3.0 cumulative GPA after each semester.

Portfolio Scholarships
O'More offers a limited number of 4-year portfolio scholarships. New students may submit their portfolio to the Admissions Office for evaluation by the Fine Arts Department. Two members of the Fine Arts Department independently evaluate student portfolios, assigning points based on specific criteria. Renewal requires a 3.0 cumulative GPA after each semester.

Work-Study
The college has a limited number of jobs for its students on campus. Priority for work is given to students that demonstrate financial need. Special consideration is also given to international students who do not qualify for federal/state aid and to non-traditional students who do not qualify for academic scholarship. The funds awarded are credited to student accounts at the beginning of each semester just like a scholarship. Renewal of work-study is based on establishing need annually and on good job performance; student workers are expected to report for work on time, do their assigned tasks well, and cooperate with their supervisors.

Payment Plan
Even with aid from O'More, federal and state governments, plus other sources, most students still have a balance to pay out of pocket. If so, students or families can pay the lump sum due at the beginning of each semester or make interest-free monthly payments for the semester or the year through our partner Tuition Management Systems (TMS). There is an enrollment fee but no interest. Go to www.afford.com/omorecollege to see the payment plans offered at O'More. This website also provides the capability to enroll and pay online and to access account information 24/7. TMS has a toll-free number (888.210.5765) for customer service.
