The American Opportunity Tax Credit
The American Opportunity tax credit is new for the 2009 tax year. It offsets the cost of tuition, fees, course-related books, supplies, and equipment for higher education by reducing the amount of income tax you are liable for. In addition, the credit is partially refundable—meaning that you may be able to claim the tax credit and receive a check from the IRS even if you owe no income tax!
Veteran Services at the University of Oregon
The University of Oregon welcomes students who have served our country as members of the armed forces. The Office of Admissions, partnering with colleagues in the UO Office of Veterans Affairs and the State of Oregon's Department of Veterans Affairs, assists veterans in making a seamless transition from military service to the campus community. Significant resources are in place to aid in that transition.
Families Impacted by the Current Financial Downturn
The current economic climate may cause students and families to question their ability to continue to pay for an education from the University of Oregon. Please contact our office to discuss the possible support we may be able to provide if you have experienced a decrease in family income due to job loss, company cutbacks or other financial setbacks.
