The UO Black Alumni Network Student Support Fund

We are thrilled to announce the creation of the UO Black Alumni Network Student Support Fund to support the recruitment, retention, and graduation of Black students at the University of Oregon. Your gift to this fund will provide scholarships to incoming freshman, transfer and graduate students to promote academic success as well as bridge historic wealth gaps by reducing student debt. Our goal is both recruitment and retention. The UOBAN aims to positively impact student enrollment, student-life experiences and graduation rates for Black students at the University of Oregon.

 

Black students comprise 2.4 percent of the student population. This percentage has increased by less than 1 percent in the last 27 years.

By providing a full tuition and fee scholarship for an in-state student and close to 50 percent tuition and fee scholarship for an out-of-state student, the UOBAN can positively impact student enrollment, student-life experiences, and graduation rates for Black students at UO.

Recipients will be selected on the basis of academic and personal merit, financial need, notable essays, and two recommendations. Those with demonstrated involvement within the Black community will be given additional consideration. Read the full details of this scholarship endowment!
