Undergraduate Awards & Scholarships

Undergraduate Awards & Scholarships

OSU offers scholarships for first-year and transfer students to recognize academic achievement while promoting the diversity necessary to achieve the university's educational goals. These include the Presidential Scholarship, Provost Scholarship and the Diversity Achievement Scholarship.

A scholarship application form is a component of the application for undergraduate admission. The chemistry department of College of Science does not accept applications or directly award scholarships to new students.

Information about general OSU scholarships and financial aid can be found on the Financial Aid and Scholarships Office Website.

The Oregon Student Assistance Commission has a variety of scholarship programs available for high school seniors, undergraduate students and graduate students.

Undergraduate scholarships

The College of Science awards their own scholarships. For additional information, visit the College of Science Scholarships webpage, which includes a list of the available scholarships and the application form. These scholarships are directed at students who are currently enrolled at OSU and are awarded for the student's second or later year of attendance at OSU. Continuing students are defined as students who have completed a minimum of 30 hours of coursework at OSU by the end of winter term when the application is made for the scholarship for the following year.

The Department of Chemistry also has a number of scholarships for continuing students. These one-year scholarships are reserved specifically for outstanding chemistry majors, requiring a GPA of 3.5 unless otherwise noted.

Given to chemistry students to help support them through their academic studies.

Jack Stephenson created this scholarship in honor of his father, who spent time in Oregon just before WWI. His father told him wonderful stories about Oregon. When Jack graduated from UW Madison and was looking at graduate programs in Chemistry, he opted for OSU. Jack and Charlene met at OSU, and although he was drafted after his first year at OSU, he was able to come back and complete his PhD after two years of Army service. Jack went to work for the CIA after graduation. Among other programs, he was involved with the K-129 submarine recovery project. Jack and Charlene moved back from DC after he retired.

This annual award recognizes the importance of scientific writing, particularly in each term of the Writing Intensive Courses that are Experimental Chemistry II (CH 462, CH 463, and CH 464) in the Integrated Lab Series at OSU Chemistry. One paper in each course is selected that best demonstrates the student’s ability to compose a professional paper of at least 2000 words through multiple aspects of writing, including brainstorming, drafting and revising. Each award includes an honorarium from the chemistry department and the top awardee is also recognized with the OSU Culture of Writing Award. Awards are selected by the course instructors and are announced at the annual Chemistry Honors & Awards event each spring.
