Presidential Priorities

Support President Schill's Top Priorities

Make a Big Impact on UO Students

 

President Schill is focused on three priorities for achieving excellence at the University of Oregon:

  • Supporting outstanding teaching and promoting academic research

  • Ensuring affordability, access and success for all students

  • Delivering a rich, outstanding educational experience in an inclusive and diverse environment

Generous donors like you are needed to make this bold vision a reality.

President Schill has selected three funds as his specific priorities for #DucksGive.

 

President's Success Fund

The President's Success Fund is our backbone fund that supports the areas of greatest need and impact, enabling the University of Oregon to excel. Whether it's ensuring that our students have access to state of the art equipment, that new initiatives are funded, or that we're able to recruit and hire the best researchers, gifts to the President’s Success Fund make high priority investments possible.

 

PathwayOregon Scholarship Fund

This scholarship and advising program helps support affordability and access by providing full tuition and fees for Pell grant-eligible Oregonians who graduate high school with a 3.40 GPA or better. Pathway is a promise to instate students of all backgrounds that the door to a robust education will remain open. PathwayOregon also provides wrap-around advising support so that these students can not only attend Oregon's flagship university, but also succeed and thrive.

 

Presidential Scholarship Fund    

Presidential Scholarships are awarded competitively to outstanding incoming freshmen from Oregon. Approximately 50 freshmen receive this scholarship each year, and the awarding process is highly selective. Presidential Scholarships reward academic excellence and extraordinary leadership skills.
