Do the FAFSA!

Once you’ve found a pathway, the next smart move is starting your FAFSA—the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It may help you unlock money to help pay for your training. It can make a huge difference in what options are affordable. Talk to your parents or guardians soon and ask them to work with you to get started.

Completing the FAFSA early gives you the best chance at grants, scholarships, and financial aid.

Determined to elevate your future? FAFSA is your next step

myPathway Project

myPathway, a project of the Ohio Department of Higher Education, is a resource for high school students, families, and counselors, to explore career pathways at Ohio Career-Technical Centers.

Across Ohio, there are 47 OTCs that collectively offer hands-on training in hundreds of fields like healthcare, manufacturing, truck driving, CNC operations, HVAC, electrical trades, IT, cybersecurity, and more — getting you career-ready fast.

Graduation Rate

The graduation rate is the share of students who completed within 150 percent of the expected time to graduation (e.g., 15 months for 10-month certificates). This graduation rate only applies to students studying full-time who started at this center.

Average Annual Cost

The average annual net price that a student who receives federal financial aid pays to cover expenses (e.g., tuition, living expenses) to attend the school’s largest program. Net price is the program’s cost of attendance minus any grants and scholarships received. For public schools, this is only the average cost for in-state students.

Median Earnings

The median annual earnings of individuals that received federal student aid and began college at this institution 10 years ago, regardless of their completion status.
