Distinguished Scholarships

Distinguished scholarships are prestigious, nation-wide awards such as the Rhodes Scholarship, Marshall Scholarship, Truman Scholarship, Goldwater Scholarship and Churchill Scholarship. You’ve likely heard of the recipients of some of these scholarships – U.S. President Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar, as was our very own University of Oregon President Dave Frohnmayer. Although each of these scholarship programs is distinct – some are for graduate study in the United Kingdom only; some are for undergraduate study here in the U.S.; some focus on the natural sciences, some on the humanities; – they all provide an exceptional educational experience to students who pursue them. They are also very competitive and require an extensive application process of essays and interviews.

The University of Oregon has a website dedicated to helping UO students become more aware of and competitive for these National & International Distinguished Scholarships. Visit http://distinguishedscholars.uoregon.edu/ to learn more.
