Scholarship Management System (SMS) Scholarship Database: https://scholarship.ucsadm.oregonstate.edu/prod/search_schol.php Phase 1 of a new centralized scholarship database, Scholarship Management System (SMS), is being implemented. The SMS will simplify the way students search for and apply for scholarships and for scholarship administrators to award scholarships in a more efficient manner. Starting with the 2011–2012 academic year, the SMS will replace the scholarship information currently housed in the university catalog. As part of this transition, it is of the upmost importance that scholarship administrators from across campus continue to review and update their scholarships. The data that currently exists is based on the information provided by scholarship coordinators in each department or school in coordination with the OSU Foundation. It is ultimately the responsibility of the managing entity to ensure that their scholarship data housed in SMS is both up-to-date and accurate. Scholarship administrators should review the instructions on how to review and add scholarships to the database. Details on the student interface may be found here. The next phase of SMS will include an online application and awarding tools. This group will launch their online applications beginning in January with other managing entities having the opportunity to develop their applications for the 2012–2013 academic year. We will work to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to utilize SMS and we will offer training in the future to assist in this process. For further information, contact Jessica Abblitt, Assistant Director of Scholarships, Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships, 541-737-9056, jessica.abblitt@oregonstate.edu.

Please contact the College of Agricultural Sciences for more information about Beginning and Continuing Venture Agricultural Honors Scholarships and College of Agricultural Sciences Scholarship Awards, and contact the indicated department regarding departmental scholarships. We urge all students to apply. Often, many criteria other than academic record are used to select scholarship recipients. The Agricultural Honors Scholarship Program The CAS must produce well-educated, productive, and qualified professionals in all agricultural science disciplines to ensure the future prosperity of Oregon's agricultural and natural resources. A shortage of qualified science, business, and technical professionals threatens our agricultural and natural resources. While the need for advanced education in the agricultural industry has grown, the supply of highly skilled talent in the agricultural sciences has declined. The Agricultural Honors Scholarship Program is designed to attract talented students to the CAS. The E.R. Jackman Board and Savery Fund of the Agricultural Research Foundation fostered the program to enable students to concentrate on their studies without worrying about personal finances. Through the Agricultural Honors Scholarship Program, the CAS awards about $70,000 to incoming students and $10,000 to continuing students each year. Beginning Venture Agricultural Honors Scholarships Beginning venture scholarships are for incoming CAS students, whether they are high school seniors or are transferring from another academic institution.
