Scholarships for international students
Oregon State University offers several scholarships and tuition
remission programs that award qualified international students with
partial tuition remission. Some are highly competitive and require a
separate application, while others may be awarded based on your
previous academic accomplishments. 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 3.5/4.0 average
on high school or university (bachelor's degree level) grades and meet
the English language proficiency requirements for full admission.
Conditionally admitted students are ineligible. Award Amount: $4,000,
$6,000 or $7,000 per year; renewable, subject to academic record. No
separate application is required. For full consideration, an
application for admission, transcripts and test scores, must be

International Cultural Service Program (ICSP)
Undergraduate and graduate international students, who have also
applied for admission to OSU, are eligible to apply for the
International Cultural Service Program (ICSP) scholarship. 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, may serve as the
ICSP scholars at OSU each year. Students receive a partial tuition
award, (approximately $10,000), in exchange for providing community
service throughout the academic year. This is a very competitive
program and many qualified applicants cannot be accepted due to the
limited number of awards and the need for geographic balance and
cultural diversity. Detailed instructions along with the application
form and deadline can be found on the website
http://oregonstate.edu/international/ICSP/ is made only in the spring
for the next academic year.

Oregon State University offers several scholarships and tuition
remission programs that award qualified international students with
partial and sometimes 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.

Graduate Teaching and Research Assistantships
Graduate students may be offered a teaching or research assistantship
that involves working within one's department or possibly elsewhere on
the OSU campus. 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. The 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 during the last 90 hours of undergraduate
work, one's GPA on courses taken after the first baccalaureate,
performance in the 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.

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.
