Editor's notes

  • Apply in the fall, not by March 1. CSU warns scholarship money can run out before its March 1 deadline, and you must be admitted before any award is made.
  • If you're in the top 10% of an Ohio class, file the class rank certification form. It's what triggers the state's guaranteed admission.
