Entering Students Awards

Oregon State University offers scholarships to recognize entering students' academic achievement, while promoting the diversity necessary to reach the university's educational goals. In keeping with those goals, OSU seeks to enroll students who represent a variety of ethnic, cultural, and geographical perspectives and who bring special skills to the campus. In addition to receiving the monetary award, scholarship students participate in the University Scholars Program, which offers special opportunities to interact with other highly motivated students, outstanding OSU faculty, and visiting scholars. Contact the OSU Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships at 541-737-2241 for program information or online at http://oregonstate.edu/financialaid/.

To be considered for scholarship selection, entering students must meet the minimum criteria listed below, complete the OSU Application for Undergraduate Admission, including the OSU Scholars section by the priority deadline. Applicants are evaluated on a combination of GPA, SAT or ACT scores, extracurricular and leadership activities, insight résumé, strength of high school or college courses completed, and potential contribution to the educational goals of the university. Scholarship amounts vary based on evaluation of merit, experience and students' financial need. Students who are selected receive only one of these scholarships except for college/department awards, which may be combined with other OSU scholarships. Selections for OSU scholarships are extremely competitive from within a highly qualified applicant pool. Scholarship selections and award amounts are determined on a competitive basis.

Additional information is available from the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.

Types of Scholarships

Four categories of scholarships are offered through the College of Agricultural Sciences:
  1. Beginning Venture Agricultural Honors Scholarships for incoming students
  2. Continuing Venture Agricultural Honors Scholarships for continuing students
  3. College of Agricultural Sciences Scholarship Awards for incoming or continuing students
  4. Departmental scholarships for incoming or continuing students

These scholarships are described, in general, here. 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 and natural-resource 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 and natural-resource 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.

Qualifications and Selection

The CAS awards $1,000 to $2,000 scholarships to students entering the CAS through OSU's Corvallis campus, the college's location on the Eastern Oregon University campus in La Grande, OSU's Distance Education program, or OSU's dual-admission programs with select Oregon community colleges. Students with an agricultural science-related interest enrolling in the general agriculture, environmental science, or natural resources program at OSU's Cascades campus are also considered.

Students must:

  • Exhibit high scholastic ability
  • Have an interest in an agricultural or natural-resource career
  • Possess a record of leadership in school and community activities
  • Meet OSU and college admission requirements

Application

To apply for a beginning venture scholarship, complete the College of Agricultural Sciences Scholarships Application. The application must be received by the CAS Academic Programs Office by February 1.

To request an application contact Academic Programs Office, College of Agricultural Sciences, 137 Strand Agriculture Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331-2202, 541-737-2211; casstudy@oregonstate.edu. Applications may also be downloaded or submitted via the Web at http://agsci.oregonstate.edu/students/schol.html.

The CAS determines eligibility for scholarships and makes final selection of award recipients.

Continuing Venture Agricultural Honors Scholarships

The goal of continuing venture scholarships is to encourage past recipients of beginning venture scholarships to continue their studies with the CAS. These scholarships provide students with an additional year of support.

Qualifications and Selection

The CAS awards $1,500 scholarships to students beginning their second year of study in the CAS through OSU's Corvallis campus, the college's location on the Eastern Oregon University campus in La Grande, OSU's Distance Education program, or OSU's dual-admission programs with select Oregon community colleges. Students with an agricultural science-related interest enrolling or enrolled in the general agriculture, environmental science, or natural resources program at OSU's Cascades campus are also considered.

Students must:

  • Continue to exhibit high scholastic ability
  • Have an ongoing interest in an agricultural or natural-resource career
  • Possess a record of leadership in college and community activities
  • Be making satisfactory academic progress

Application

To apply for a continuing venture scholarship, complete the College of Agricultural Sciences Scholarships Application. The application must be received by the CAS Academic Programs Office by February 1. Applications can be obtained from your major program's departmental head advisor's office or from Academic Programs Office, College of Agricultural Sciences, 137 Strand Agriculture Hall, Corvallis, OR 97331-2202; 541-737-2211, cassstudy@oregonstate.edu. Applications also may be downloaded or submitted via the Web at http://agsci.oregonstate.edu/students/schol.html.
