A Funded Student is any student that is having his or her classes paid or partially paid by financial aid, an employer, or a government agency.

Students receiving financial aid (Ohio Instructional Grant, PELL Grant, Student Loans, Scholarships, etc.) need to coordinate with the Financial Aid Office located in Building 10, Room 10343, to ensure their funding is applied by the payment due dates.

Local or State Agency Funded Students must coordinate their registration and payment with the appropriate authority. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that all required documentation is received by the Bursar Office no later than the final payment date. Funding agencies include BVR, WIA, DVA and TRA/TAA, along with many others.

Employer funded students are those students whose employers pay Sinclair directly for classes. There are currently over 100 different local employers participating in this program. Among them are Wright Patterson Air Force Base, local hospitals and many fire departments. As with all funded students, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all required paperwork is received by the Bursar Office before the final payment deadline.

Individuals may also sponsor students through Student Deposit accounts. The Student Deposit works like a scholarship account. The sponsoring individual sends funds to the school and designates how the funds are to be used (i.e. tuition, books, supplies). The sponsoring individual can also designate who should receive a refund if there are any excess funds. Anyone interested in funding a student by Student Deposit can contact the Bursar Office by calling (937) 512-3202 or (937) 512-3864; or by going to the link below and printing out a Student Deposit Form.
