University Scholar Excellence & Access Award

This program is designed for incoming freshman students enrolling at Eastern Oregon University. It merges merit-based and need-based criteria into a single funding opportunity to support students throughout their undergraduate education. The award amount is determined dynamically using a combination of the student's high school cumulative grade point average and their Student Aid Index from financial aid applications. Recipients must maintain their academic standing and complete a set number of credits each academic year to remain eligible for renewal. Funding is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis depending on budget availability, making early application beneficial.
