Oregon Statutes - Chapter 348 - Student Aid; Education Stability Fund; Planning - Section 348.210 - Scholarships at Eastern Oregon University; scholarships for certain foreign students.

(1) In addition to any other scholarships provided by law, the Oregon Student Assistance Commission may award scholarships at Eastern Oregon University to resident undergraduate students applying for enrollment in the university or who are pursuing courses therein. The number of students who receive scholarships under this subsection may not exceed two and one-half percent of the number of students who are enrolled at the university. The scholarships shall be awarded upon the basis of a record of high intellectual standing and deportment in the school or institution where the applicant has received or is receiving preparatory training, the necessity for financial assistance and other qualifications of such nature that the awarding of scholarships will operate not only to the advantage of the applicant but to the people of Oregon. A scholarship awarded under this subsection may not exceed in value the amount of the tuition and other fees, including the fees that are levied against the recipient of the scholarship by the State Board of Higher Education at the university.

(2) The commission may award tuition and fee-exempting scholarships to students from foreign nations who are enrolled in state institutions of higher education. A student may not receive a scholarship under this subsection that exceeds the amount of tuition and fees owed by the student.

(3) The value of scholarships awarded each year under subsection (2) of this section may not exceed in aggregate an amount equal to 10 percent of the amount of tuition and fees paid in the preceding year to the Department of Higher Education by students enrolled in state institutions of higher education who were not Oregon residents.
