The American Opportunity Tax Credit (formerly the Hope Scholarship) is available to eligible students in their first and second years of college. To qualify the student must have been enrolled at least half-time during any semester of the calendar year.

Lifetime Learning

Students beyond their first two years of college may be eligible to claim the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit.

Tuition and lab fees paid with a Pell Grant, Ohio Instructional Grant, employer-provided educational assistance or other tuition-specific, tax-free scholarship, do not qualify for the tax credit.

Student loans are treated as cash payments for purposes of the Lifetime Learning tax credit.
