Oregon State Univesity Scholarships for International Students

Oregon State University offers several scholarships and tuition remission programs that award qualified international students with partial and sometime full tuition remission, as in the case of graduate assistantships. Some are highly competitive and require an application, while others are automatically awarded based on your previous grades. Please note the descriptions below and links to their respective websites.

International Provost Scholarship
Undergraduate students entering the University as freshmen or transfer students are automatically reviewed for scholarship eligibility. Eligibility Criteria: Academic Achievement; minimum of 3.0/4.0 average on high school or university (bachelor's degree level) grades. Award Amount: $2,000-6,000 per year; renewable, subject to academic record. No application is required.

International Cultural Service Program (ICSP)
Undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply for the International Cultural Service Program (ICSP). A select number of academically meritorious international students who have a demonstrated financial need, speak English clearly, and are prepared to share information about their country and culture serve on the ICSP at Oregon State University each year. Students receive a partial tuition award, (approximately $9,000-$12,000) , in exchange for giving presentations about their country and culture. This is a very selective program and many qualified applicants cannot be accepted due to the limited number of awards and the need for
geographic balance and cultural diversity.Completed ICSP applications and two current letters of recommendation must be completed and received by April 1st. Selection is made only in the spring for the next academic year. ICSP applicants must also apply formally to the OSU Office of Admissions by March 1st.

Graduate Teaching and Research Assistantships
Graduate students may be offered a teaching or research assistantship on campus. Assistantships are normally granted by the student's academic home department. In exchange for 12-19 hours of service per week, GA's receive a monthly salary ($600-$1,500 per month), full tuition remission that is equal to approximately $17,000, and a partial contribution toward the graduate-assistant- only health insurance premium. Availability of graduate assistantships varies greatly by department. You may indicate your interest in an assistantship on your application for admission. You may also contact your prospective department directly for more information.

Supplemental Oregon Laurels Graduate Scholarship
Nominees must be resident or nonresident graduate students, domestic or international who have proven themselves to be academically talented. New and continuing graduate students in degree programs will be considered for Supplemental Oregon Laurels Scholarships. Recipients will be required to enroll for a minimum of 12 credits each term of the award.

Scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic qualifications as evaluated from one's GPA on the last 90 hours of undergraduate work, one's GPA on courses taken after the first baccalaureate, performance in current degree program (if nominee is a continuing student), letters of recommendation testifying to the student's academic ability, and GRE or other standard test scores, when available. Evaluation will be made by the Dean of the Graduate School.

International Baccalaureate Scholarship
Undergraduate students who have completed the full International Baccalaureate diploma with a score of 30 or higher may be awarded a minimum of $2,000 per year, renewable for up to 4 years. For more information, visit the International Baccalaureate Organization

College and Departmental Scholarships
Eligibility criteria and award amounts vary by college/ department based on availability of funding. Student may be asked to provide additional information to departments. Check department websites for further information.

Tuition Remission Scholarship for International Students (TRSIS)

Eligibility: International Students in F-1 or J-1 status, who have preferably completed at least one year of studies at OSU and who are in financial need, may apply for partial tuition remission for the following academic year.
