Help With Funding Your Future
The College of Arts and Sciences provides a significant number of donor-supported scholarships and fellowships to our undergraduate and graduate CAS students.
Some funding opportunities support students coming to the UO from underrepresented communities.
Many CAS departments and programs also offer their own major-specific scholarships.
UO scholarships are offered centrally through the Office of Admissions or the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.
Scholarships for incoming first-year students require an additional and separate application. Others are awarded automatically based on the materials in your undergraduate application for admission and/or the financial information on your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The scholarship will provide financial support of up to $2,000 to assist students in completing an unpaid internship, research opportunity, or service-learning experience of at least 8 weeks’ duration.
