At UO, we believe that education offers a life-changing pathway to career success and lifelong flourishing. As a public university committed to public service, we have created a new scholarship to support international students displaced by humanitarian crisis, natural disasters or conflict in their countries or regions of origin. We are especially interested in helping students whose college pursuits have been interrupted by such conditions and who have expressed a desire and intent to use their education at UO to improve conditions in their countries or regions of origin.
How Scholarship Will Be Awarded
Applications for the ICRS award will be reviewed by a standing faculty and staff committee. Recipients of the ICRS will generally not be eligible for other DGE-managed scholarships. Review will take into account the nature of the crisis and the potential for the applicant to contribute after graduation to rebuilding, resolution, reconciliation, restoration or other remedies in their home society. Awards are funding-contingent, and we expect an average of 1-2 awards per year.
Recipients of the International Crisis Response Scholarship (ICRS) will benefit from advising support and community integration to ease the transition to the UO from situations of crisis. Following the model of the UO’s International Cultural Service Program (ICSP) scholarship, ICRS awardees will also receive training to make periodic presentations about their home cultures at UO and in the surrounding communities.
