About Canal Winchester, Ohio

Canal Winchester is a city in Fairfield and Franklin counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. Canal Winchester was founded in 1828 by Reuben Dove and John Colman. When construction of the Ohio & Erie Canal came through Dove's wheat field, he wanted to sue the state. Canal Winchester hosts a Labor Day Festival the first weekend of September. There are rides, musical entertainment, food, a beer tent and games. There is a parade on Monday, Labor Day. (Wikipedia)

College Scorecard / IPEDS, most recent year. Family income is total household income; net price covers tuition, fees, room, board and supplies after grant aid, for students receiving federal aid.

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

3%
of first-years get a grant from the school
$500
average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 3% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $500. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 39 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.
