General UO Diversity Scholarships:

  UO Diversity-Building Scholarship (DBS): recognizes undergraduate and graduate students who enhance the educational experience of all students by sharing diverse cultural experiences.

  McNair Scholars Program: The McNair Scholars Program at the University of Oregon is one of 135 such programs at colleges and universities across the country. It is part of a group of federal programs that includes Student Support Services and is known collectively as TRIO. Named in honor of Ronald E. McNair, an African-American astronaut killed when the space shuttle Challenger exploded, the Program seeks to help qualified students receive doctoral-level degrees. To be eligible, students must be low-income and first generation in their families to earn a bachelor’s degree or members of groups under-represented in graduate education. With its ability to support such groups, the McNair Scholars Program represents a continuing interest in diversity at the University of Oregon and higher education in general. The University's McNair Scholars Program is housed within Academic Learning Services. See their website for more information on this program. http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~als/mcnair/mcnair.htm
