The Lundquist College of Business is committed to enrolling exceptional students dedicated to learning in our experiential-based model.
Financial assistance can come in the form of scholarships, loans, federal work-study and university fellowships. Upon application, candidates may be considered for merit-based scholarships. Scholarships are based on academic and professional qualifications and are not need-based. Financial aid comes from a variety of sources, including the Lundquist College of Business, federal government, and public and private sources.
Scholarships
Inclusive Excellence Scholarship
The MS in Finance program is committed to growing a community of students and alumni who actively engage in promoting inclusion. This scholarship is intended to provide education funding to incoming MSF students who have recognized commitment to inclusion in both the classroom as well as their personal and professional lives.
If selected, students will receive a $5,000 scholarship that will be divided equally across the number terms in the program.
Students will have the opportunity to submit a brief essay to apply for the scholarship within their application to the program. For students starting in Summer 2025, the deadline to apply for the scholarship is April 1, 2025.
Graduate Student Scholarships
Lundquist Admissions awards merit-based scholarships to incoming students who are fully admitted to the MSF program. No application is needed—decisions are made during the admissions process and are based on GMAT/GRE, GPA, and work experience. Award amount varies and will be communicated to students at the time of admission.
International Student Scholarships
Both need- and merit-based scholarships specifically for non-U.S. students are available through the UO Office of International Affairs.
