High School Senior Scholarship Opportunity

Apply for Scholarship Funding through Oregon College Savings Plan by March 1, 2021

Oregon College Savings Plan's Diversity in Leadership Scholarship: The multiyear scholarship (up to $25,000) was created to support underrepresented and diverse Oregon high school graduates pursuing higher education in-state. Awards may be used to attend a range of Oregon institutions, including apprenticeships, trade schools, community colleges, colleges or universities. Requirements and criteria to be selected include being an incoming Freshman (graduating high school senior currently), Oregon resident, and have plans to enroll at an Oregon school.

Applications opened November 1st and must be submitted by March 1st 2021, for the following academic year.

The scholarship is being administered through the Oregon Community Foundation’s (OCF) scholarship program—one of the largest of its kind in the country. There will be two new recipients each year, with awardees receiving $10,000 for their freshman year and $5,000 for each of the next three years of full-time enrollment, or until completion of degree (whichever comes earlier). When fully rolled out, the program is anticipated to fund $50,000 in scholarships each year to a class of eight students.
