Meet the Kolesar family
"With Mason’s merit scholarships, UToledo was more affordable than his in-state option. And it offered more academic opportunities. Our visit to UToledo only cemented his choice. He loved the campus and the friendly people and appreciated seeing all kinds of students. The last thing this momma wanted was for her only child to be 10 hours away and unhappy. I had nothing to worry about. Mason found a great group of friends. He is thriving. And best of all, his confidence has grown as he handles life on his own."
— Mary Kolesar, Red Oak, N.C.

PRIORITY DEPOSIT DEADLINE: JUNE 1, 2024
With the recent U.S. Department of Education announcement on FAFSA processing delays, our traditional May 1 priority deposit deadline would cause significant concerns for families relying on their financial aid award to make the final college selection for Fall 2024. Due to this, The University of Toledo is extending our Priority Deposit Deadline from May 1, 2024 to June 1, 2024.
