BUILDING STRONG FUTURES IN SOUTHEAST OHIO
College can be expensive. We know that. But at Hocking College, our goal is to give you a quality education you can afford.
Our team is here to help you identify ways to find your pathway to prosperity.
Our all-inclusive pricing structure makes the cost of attending college easy to understand with no surprise fees. All of your classes' costs, including books, supplies, uniforms, etc. are included in your course fees, and you'll receive those supplies on your first day of class. You won't have to worry about paying for extra items for your courses; all you have to do is focus on learning and putting yourself on the path to your dream career.
A grant is considered gift aid, money that you are not required to repay. To be considered for grants, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
For more information about federal student aid eligibility, award limits and other important information, please review the Federal Student Aid Guide.
For any questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office at financialaid@hocking.edu.
If you apply for financial aid, you may be offered loans as part of your school's financial aid offer. A loan is money you borrow and must pay back with interest. Student loans can come from the federal government, from private sources such as a bank or financial institution, or from other organizations.
For any questions, please contact the Financial Aid Office at financialaid@hocking.edu.
Students may want to consider applying for private loans if the amount of federal financial aid is not enough to cover the full cost of attendance or if eligibility for financial aid is lost. Private loans are based on credit, therefore you are encouraged to obtain a co-signer to help with the approval as well as to secure a better interest rate.
To apply for a private loan, please visit our preferred lender site to compare products and begin your application.

For some students, the total direct costs to attend college may exceed the amount of financial aid a student is eligible. If the student’s financial aid is not enough to cover all educational charges, then there are alternative financing options available to help cover the gap.
If your remaining balance to pay is less than $1,500, after all charges and expected aid have been posted for Autumn semester, you may establish a Cash Payment Plan. The payment plan may not exceed $1,500 and will be divided by 4 with expected payments of $375 per month. Your first payment, as well as the $30 application fee, must be paid by the 1st of the month for the semester you enroll. The full balance is expected to be paid before the end of the semester.
Students and their parents may make a one-time payment to cover your remaining balance after all charges and expected financial aid has been posted.
If you plan to use a 3rd party to pay your educational costs, such as WIOA, a 529 Plan, or another type of payment, you must provide documentation that you are eligible for the funds or proof of available funds to be paid to Hocking College.
If your remaining balance to pay is $2,500 or less for the semester, after all charges and expected aid have been posted, you may be eligible for the Hocking College Work Scholarship for up to $1,000. To receive this scholarship, you must agree to work in a student employment position at Hocking College. Please see your financial aid representative to confirm if you qualify.
