Western Oregon University (WOU) offers various scholarship options to support students financially. These include merit-based, need-based, and program-specific scholarships. The Foundation Scholarships are the most common, awarded based on academic achievement, leadership, and community involvement. Additionally, departmental scholarships cater to specific majors or fields of study.
Transfer students and incoming freshmen may qualify for the Western Oregon Scholarship or the WOU Outstanding Scholar Award. External scholarships, such as those from private organizations, are also available. Students should complete the FAFSA and WOU Scholarship Application to maximize eligibility. Deadlines and criteria vary, so checking WOU’s financial aid website is recommended.
