Each year the Lundquist College of Business awards more than $500,000 in undergraduate scholarships to students who are pursuing a business or accounting major. Scholarship awards typically range between $1,000 and $5,000, depending upon available funding.
Both business administration and accounting majors are invited to apply for Lundquist College of Business scholarships. Applicants complete one application and are considered for all available scholarships. Typically, scholarships are awarded to students who will be admitted to the major by the next fall term.
Sample of Criteria for Selection
There are a wide variety of scholarship criteria. Some, but not all, require financial need. Here is a sample of types of criteria for awardees (not all criteria are necessary for award eligibility):
- Academic performance
- Financial need (make sure to read about the multiple ways to demonstrate need below)
- Concentration or career plans
- Involvement in clubs, organizations, study abroad, work
- High school from which you graduated
- U.S. Armed Services Veteran
All applicants will receive notification (via their UO email accounts) of the scholarship committee's decision (awarded or denied) prior to the end of spring term.
Before You Apply
Financial Need
Some scholarships require proof of financial need. If you feel you qualify, please fill out the appropriate forms below to verify your level of need. Early submission of these forms is encouraged as some scholarships are depended on demonstrated need.
International students should submit the International Student Resources Form to the International Affairs office right away to allow plenty of time for processing. If you have already turned in a Financial Resources Form for 2021-2022, you do not need to complete another form.
Prepare Documents
The following documents (in PDF file format) are required to complete this application. They should be prepared before you begin filling out the application form as the application doesn’t allow you to save your work.

Additional Scholarships
Direct Admit Scholarships
All incoming students who are offered direct admission into the Lundquist College of Business will automatically be in the pool of students considered for a direct admit scholarship. Students do not need to submit any additional applications or paperwork. We have a very limited number of scholarships to award.
Students who are offered a scholarship will be notified by mid-April, at which point they will be asked to complete a brief profile document. Incoming direct admit students should not use the scholarship application on this page.
Once on campus, direct admit students will be eligible to apply for the general Lundquist College of Business scholarships for their sophomore, junior, and senior years.
