Need-Based Grant for Fully-Admitted Students in Ecampus Degree/Certificate

A need-based grant is now available to help further the career of deserving Oregon State University students who are admitted and enrolled in a part-time or full-time program of study offered through Extended Campus. (A program of study is defined as an undergraduate or graduate degree program, undergraduate or graduate certificate program, or baccalaureate degree program that is delivered through Extended Campus.)

• Demonstrate financial need per Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) guidelines. You may complete the FAFSA online; remember to list Oregon State University as your school choice.
• Are identifiable by OSU's student record system (Banner) as seeking a distance degree or academic certificate.
• Enroll in a minimum of 3 credits per term; credits must be through Ecampus.

Award Amount and Distribution

The financial aid award may cover Extended Campus tuition and fees for three or more student credit hours per term, based on need. The awards will be granted up to $1000 per term and cannot be used for expenses other than Ecampus tuition and fees. The OSU Financial Aid Office will determine recipient eligibility and selection and will administer the distribution of financial aid.

Federal and State Financial Aid
