UO Excellence Scholarship

A limited number of awards are available to the highest achieving non-resident students. Consideration and selection is based on review of the admissions application and academic transcripts.

Non-resident freshmen with exceptional admissions applications and stellar academic records will automatically be considered for the UO Excellence Scholarship. A limited number of these prestigious awards are available.

The UO Excellence Scholarship can be combined with other UO scholarships, including Diversity Excellence and General University Scholarships. It cannot be combined with the Stamps Scholarship, Summit Scholarship or the Apex Scholarship. Students enrolled in five-year degree programs will receive the UO Excellence Scholarship for a fifth year. These degrees include BLA (Landscape Architecture), BIARC (Interior Architecture), and BARCH (Architecture).

You must enroll at the UO in the fall term of your freshmen year and you must enroll in 12 University of Oregon credits each term to receive this award.
