Ohio Minor Misdemeanor Possession of Marijuana Question?

I don’t have a court date, just a citation that I can pay to the courts. On my citation it states my violation is possession of marijuana, and my offense is drug abuse. I want to know is this a charge or just a simple citation that can be paid out? Will a citation for marijuana show up on a background check? Will this affect financial aid for college?
