Academic achievement, outstanding service or performance, and financial need form the basis for selection.
Most scholarships stipulate that students attend full-time.
In addition, students often receive scholarships from their high schools or community organizations. The Oregon Student Assistance Commission is the state student financial aid agency for Oregon. OSAC manages a variety of State, Federal, and private financial aid programs for the advantage of Oregon residents attending colleges and universities within Oregon. To apply for many of the scholarships awarded through SOU, you should complete the SOU General Scholarship Application, the OSAC Application, and other available scholarship applications in December. Check with the SOU Financial Aid Office for other scholarship deadlines.
