CAS Scholarships

The College of Arts and Sciences provides a significant number of donor-supported scholarships and fellowships to our undergraduate and graduate CAS students.

Inclusion Scholarships

Some funding opportunities support students coming to the UO from underrepresented communities.

Departmental Scholarships

UO scholarships are offered centrally through the Office of Admissions or the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.

The scholarship will provide financial support of up to $5,000 to assist students in completing an unpaid internship, research opportunity, or service-learning experience of at least 8 weeks’ duration.
