All students (domestic and international) are eligible to receive need-based scholarships. For domestic students, financial need is verified by the Office of Student Financial Aid & Scholarships (OSFAS) based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). International students are not eligible for federal financial aid and therefore, do not submit a FAFSA application. In lieu of the FAFSA, international students submit a Statement of Financial Need to International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) when applying for departmental scholarships.

Financial Need Verification Process:

Step 1: The student follows the instructions for submitting the departmental scholarship application.

Step 2: The student completes a Statement of Financial Need 

Step 3: The student emails the Statement of Financial Need to ISSS at intl@uoregon.edu

Step 4: OSFAS receives notification from the department that the student has applied for a scholarship.

Step 5: OSFAS contacts ISSS for verification of student’s financial need.

NOTE: Only one Statement of Financial Need is required for the academic year for which scholarships are being applied.
