Find out the [True] Northern Facts! These days, the news is all about skyrocketing student debt. But the truth is this: There are many factors involved, and

it’s wise for families to get all the facts before making a decision that can impact their student’s future. With knowledge

about the real cost of the education and the return on that investment, students can fulfill their dreams without the

burden of unmanageable debt.

Consider these three facts about an ONU education:

1. Ohio Northern University invests in the success of its students by offering more than $58 million in gift assistance annually.

2. After only six months, Ohio Northern’s 2012 graduates have an overall placement rate of 92 percent to jobs and graduate schools.

3. Ohio Northern’s Return on Investment, or ROI, as calculated by a 2012 PayScale study places ONU’s

graduates and their earning power in the top 21 percent nationally and among the top six schools in Ohio. The

ROI analysis is significant evidence that ONU graduates fare better than most in terms of earnings over time.

ONU’s professional financial aid staff offers an individualized approach to financial aid counseling, with a goal of making a Northern education possible while keeping students informed about their investment.
