Dean's Scholarship

<p>I just received a letter from UO saying I have been awarded a Nonresident Dean's Scholarship. Did anyone else receive this award?
:)</p>

<p>Congratulations, jennyheart!</p>

<p>Yes, our S also received notice of the award yesterday.</p>

<p>Yes my son got it yesterday as well! Congrats to all.</p>

<p>i got it too. :)</p>

<p>My son had originally gotten $3000 but got a letter yesterday saying it is now $4000. Anyone else get bumped up?</p>

<p>Yes – my D did too — an extra $1K – I bet this is extremely unusual – especially for public schools this year!</p>

<p>Do you think it’s a marketing ploy to try to get OOS applicants excited about an extra $1k and hopefully decide on UO?
I’m sure they would love to get the OOS fees in this economy.</p>

<p>yeah i got it. 7,000 dollars! only school to give me any aid…</p>

<p>…■■■</p>

<p>i got my whole tuition covered in financial aid by oregon, but its all by loans and such.</p>

<p>26g a year in loans for my parents, like 5 a year for me…ughh.</p>

<p>i got an amazing package from lake forest college near chicago though, maybe I can use that as an appeal??</p>

<p>You can always ask. Maybe they’ll make an adjustment, although with budget issues the way they are in the state of Oregon (like almost every other state), I don’t know how much money UO really has to play with. Don’t know if you don’t ask though.</p>

<p>That’s way too much in loans though. Definitely not a road you or your parents want to go down.</p>

<p>Well the close to $4k increase in OOS tuition just ate up the Dean’s Scholarship. My son won’t be attending UO but he does feel good about getting a scholarship somewhere.</p>
