Ohio Wesleyan offers a limited amount of funding to help eligible students with non-school-related expenses that threaten their ability to remain enrolled at the University and to complete their degree.
For eleigible students OWU emergency funds are available to assist students with unexpected emergency expenses. Emergency funds are not available to pay for school-related expenses such as tuition, room and board and health insurance, travel-away opportunities, or personal technology.
To be eligible for OWU Emergency Funds students must have a demonstrated high financial need based upon records submitted to the Financial Aid office.
Contact the Office of the Dean of Students. A member of the team will review your situation with you. With their guidance, you'll complete a short online application found here.
If your application for funding is approved, the University hopes to have the funds ready for use within one to two business days. Typically, you won't receive funds directly; payment will be made to a service provider (such as an auto mechanic) on your behalf, based on cost estimates or other required documentation.
Verify your level of financial need by contacting the Financial Aid Office located on the second floor of Slocum Hall in Room 246, at 740-368-3050, or at financialaid@owu.edu.
Discuss your need with a Dean in the Office of Student Engagement and Success on the second floor of Hamilton-Williams Campus Center, at 740-368-3135, or at emergencygrant@owu.edu.
Ohio Wesleyan offers a limited number of laptop computers for eligible students to loan for a semester. The goal of this program is to ensure that students have the technological resources they need to succeed at the University.
Students are eligible to request a loaner laptop if they have a deomonstrated financial need. Eligibility will be assessed on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the Dean of Students office.
Students are able to reserve laptops for up to one semester. Laptops must returned two days before the end of the semester. If a laptop is not returned timely, the student may face a financial charge on their University account for the laptops original value.
A majority of the laptops available are PCs, and we have a small number of Macs. All computers come with the Microsoft Office suite and Adober Reader installed.
The Laptop Accessibility Program is coordinated by the Division of Student Engagement & Success (SES). Laptops are housed and managed by the Media Center in Beeghly Library.
Complete the online application form. A SES staff member will review your application.
Within typically three days of applying, you should receive an email from a SES staff member informing whether your application has been approved.
