Undergraduate Financial Support in the College of Engineering

The College of Engineering understands that paying for college is a critical concern for most undergraduates. To help our students in that effort, the CoE awards over $2 million in undergraduate scholarships every year.

This page describes the College’s scholarship support options and application processes for incoming freshmen, transfer students, and current engineering students. For additional potential funding sources, please consult the OSU Financial Aid and Scholarships page at http://oregonstate.edu/financialaid/scholarships.
