Supporting Students When It Matters Most

International students enrich OSU with global perspectives and ambition, yet federal work restrictions leave them especially vulnerable when unexpected crises arise. Family emergencies, political unrest, or natural disasters can quickly threaten a student’s ability to meet basic needs or remain enrolled.

Emergency support and scholarships provide critical stability—helping students stay focused on their education, remain enrolled, and succeed at OSU. With this support, students persist, graduate, and carry their pride in OSU around the world as lifelong ambassadors for the Cowboy Code.

Key Investment Areas

Emergency funding for international students
Scholarships and bridge‑the‑gap funding for tuition and fees
Technology replacement and academic tools
