Achieve your dreams of embarking upon a career in science by receiving a quality undergraduate education in physics or chemistry at the University of Oregon.
The Scholarships for Oregon Scientists program can help reduce your financial burdens with science scholarships for deserving Oregon students.
Overview: The SOS program provides scholarships of up to $10,000 to incoming freshmen and transfer students majoring in chemistry, biochemistry, or physics at the U of O. Twelve to fifteen scholarships are awarded to incoming students each year. Scholarships are based on both merit and financial need, as determined by the student's FAFSA.

Details: SOS Scholars at the UO are welcomed into a lively research community. A defining feature of SOS is that Scholars get to do science with scientists in UO research laboratories - for credit during the school year, and for a stipend during the summer. Students also experience a mix of group social activities, research discussions and presentations, and guest speakers showcasing a range of career opportunities for physical science majors.

The UO SOS program is committed to supporting our SOS Scholars in adjusting to University life and realizing short- and long-term academic and career goals. Your SOS advisors can help you adapt to university life, plan your classes, and locate campus resources on career planning, tutoring, financial planning, and a host of other services.
