Otterbein Is In Your Budget Most families are surprised to discover that private schools can be just as affordable as public schools once all the factors are taken into account such as tuition, merit aid, scholarships and financial aid offerings. And while some of our families pay a little more each year for an Otterbein education—they tell us they’re still saving money in the long term. Why? Because Otterbein students are more likely to finish on time. We believe in rewarding talent, investing in potential and doing what it takes to keep Otterbein accessible and affordable.

She was supported, loved, challenged, taught and guided; and she received exceptional instruction inside and outside of the classroom.
