Ohio University

Ohio University is a public research university in Athens, offering around 250 undergraduate programmes across nine academic colleges to students from more than 80 countries. It publishes something almost no university does: a hard, forward-dated I-20 figure. 'The 2027-2028 estimated total amount required to demonstrate availability of funds for an I-20 Certificate of Eligibility: USD 46,826.' That is the exact sum a Kazakh family must evidence, published a year ahead, covering two semesters. Merit consideration is automatic for Fall entrants with no additional application, and the priority deadline is 15 November. The most useful structural feature is the Ohio Program of Intensive English, which admits students who submit no English score at all and routes them to degree study once proficient.
