Scholarship Opportunities for Incoming Students

Pacific University offers several different scholarships for our incoming students. The opportunity of a merit scholarship is available to all students who apply and is based off of the work students have already done in high school. The only requirements to keeping the scholarship are staying in good academic standing while at Pacific University. We also offer Talent Awards & Scholarships, Special Interest Scholarships, and Community-Based Scholarships.

In total, there are 26 potential scholarships that incoming students can apply to. There are 13 total Talent Awards & Scholarships: Dance ScholarshipWorld Languages Talent Award, etc. There are 7 Special Interest Scholarships to pick from: Outdoor Adventure AwardFIRST Robotics Scholarship, etc. There are 6 Community-Based Scholarships available for incoming students: Black United Fund of Oregon ACCESS ScholarshipPacific University Oregon Promise Award, etc.

These scholarships are not run by the admissions office like the merit scholarships. Rather, they are run by the individual departments and organizations on campus. Because of this, the departments and organizations are in charge of the requirements of their scholarships. Students may apply to as many scholarships as they wish, but they may only accept one. The scholarships range from $500 - $6,000, and are renewable every year as long as the student fulfills the requirements. 

Check out the list of scholarships for incoming students that we offer and see if anything applies to you!
