Oregon State University recognizes student excellence, diversity, and achievement through an array of scholarship opportunities. The Scholarship Office serves all recipients of OSU scholarships and works to increase opportunities for access, provide financial guidance to students and families, and encourage engagement and research throughout our state, our nation, and our world.
Prestigious scholarships such as the Fulbright, Goldwater, Boren, and Gilman awards are all based on academic qualification, research, leadership, service, and personal characteristics that distinguish our students’ creativity and intellect on a national and international level. Students interested in nationally competitive scholarships are encouraged to begin the process early in their academic career by meeting with the Prestigious Scholarships Advisor.
OSU scholars are a distinguished group of students representing different geographic regions, academic programs, interests, activities and experiences. Whatever path they took to get here and wherever their journey takes them, one thing is true: scholarships helped make that dream come true.
