Access, Excellence, Experience, Innovation

Privately funded scholarships help us recruit and keep the most promising and high-achieving students. Outstanding students are essential to the success of the School of Planning, Public Policy and Management; yet, we are competing with universities across the globe that are able to offer attractive aid packages.

Part of becoming and remaining competitive to high-achieving undergraduate students involves reducing financial constraints and offering tuition reimbursements in the form of scholarships. Your investment in scholarships enables the university to fulfill its commitment to provide deserving students with access to the UO regardless of financial constraints. Scholarships not only make opportunities affordable for deserving students but also allow those students to fulfill their academic potential and focus more on academics than finances.
