Scholarships: Before You Apply

  1. Financial Need: Some scholarships require proof of financial need. If you feel you qualify, please complete one of the following forms to verify your need level (March 1 priority deadline to be eligible for many university scholarships).
    • The “FAFSA” (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is an online application for students who are US citizens, Legal Permanent Residents (LPRs) or other eligible non-citizens.
    • The “ORSAA” (Oregon Student Aid Application) is an alternative to the FAFSA for Dreamer students including students who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) as well as other undocumented students.
    • The “Statement of Financial Need” is for international students with a valid student visa. This form must be submitted directly to International Student & Scholar Services.
  2. Professional Objective: Declare a professional objective in DuckWeb within the “Student Menu” under “Update General Student Information.”  (Students do not need to declare a health profession to be eligible for the Weise scholarship)
