Serving America's Military

Ecampus military grant

Oregon State Ecampus will provide financial assistance to currently serving military members who entered the service while they were residents of Oregon and who are using military tuition assistance to help pay for their online classes.

The assistance OSU Ecampus provides will allow service members to fund educational expenses associated with OSU's online courses. This Ecampus military grant is in addition to your other military education benefits.

(NOTE: The OSU Ecampus military grant is not transferrable to military spouses and dependents.)
