What is ScholarDollars?
OSU ScholarDollars is Oregon State University’s scholarship search and application system, which is hosted by ScholarshipUniverse. Beginning November 1st each year, students may use OSU ScholarDollars to submit applications for donor-funded scholarships available. All students, newly admitted and continuing, are eligible to apply for scholarships in ScholarDollars. OSU ScholarDollars also offers personalized suggestions of external scholarships for which you may be eligible.
Although most scholarships in ScholarDollars will be awarded for the 2025-2026 academic year, there are still a limited number of scholarships that may be accepting applications for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Please Note: Oregon State’s colleges, departments, student organizations, and other campus programs may offer additional scholarships that require a separate application. We encourage you to contact your academic college, department, student organizations, and/or other campus programs to inquire about additional opportunities.
How to Apply
Visit OSU ScholarDollars to login. Students just need an active ONID account and DUO set up to be able to log in. If you were recently admitted, you'll need to activate your ONID account.
Your applications will be categorized in three tabs:
- Ready to Start: These are applications that you may qualify to fill out. One application may be attached to many scholarships.
- In Progress: These are applications that you have started, but have not finished. Your application will not be submitted until you click submit.
- Submitted: These are applications that you have submitted.
For help navigating specific processes in ScholarDollars, please refer to our ScholarDollars Help page.
When to Apply
Submit your OSU ScholarDollars applications between November 1, 2024 and February 15, 2025 to maximize the number of 2025-2026 scholarships for which you will be considered. Most OSU scholarships have application deadlines on or after February 15, 2025, but specific deadlines may vary.
Saving Your Application Progress
Once you have submitted an OSU ScholarDollars application, you will not be able to edit your responses. By clicking "Continue" on your application this will save your work without submitting it. You will need to make sure you submit your application by the deadline to be considered.
Applications that are in progress after the deadline will no longer be available to view or submit. Late applications can't be submitted or accepted.
After Submitting Your Application
OSU scholarship committees will review applications due in February at the beginning of March. If you are selected to receive a scholarship, you will be notified at your OSU email
Many OSU scholarships are made possible by the generosity of our donors, and it is incredibly meaningful for them to hear from the students their gifts support! Please submit a thank you letter if one is requested.
