Once your verification has been approved and you register for classes, the tuition scholarship will be applied to your student account after week 4 of each academic term.
What happens if I enroll in an Ecampus course after my scholarship has been awarded?
If you successfully petition for a late change of registration (after week 4 of the term) and either add an Ecampus course or switch sections of a currently enrolled course to an Ecampus section, please contact ecampus.ess@oregonstate.edu. We will take steps to adjust your scholarship amount accordingly.
