Scholarships

Motivated students will go to great lengths to secure a top-notch education.

For many OSU students, scholarships make the difference between pursuing their dreams or facing financial obstacles. By reducing financial burdens, scholarships open doors to education, allowing students to focus on learning, leadership, and innovation.

Scholarships also help OSU attract top talent, ensuring the best and brightest have access to an affordable, high-quality education. Increased support for both undergraduate and graduate scholarships strengthens OSU’s ability to prepare graduates for success while keeping student debt low.

Your Give Orange gift empowers students to reach their full potential and feel the support of the Cowboy family behind them. Invest in their future today!
