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's Office no later than the final payment date. Funding agencies include BVR, JTPA, DVA and OTTA, along with many others.

Employer funded students are those students whose employers pay Sinclair directly for classes. There are currently over 150 different local employers participating in this program. Among them are General Motors, Delphi, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, 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's Office before the final payment deadline.
