The Division of Global Engagement connects UO students, faculty and staff to the world. We do this by providing vital scholarship funding for study and intern abroad opportunities, providing scholarships to international students in conflict areas, and by investing in international research.
The World is Your Classroom
Did you know that UO students who study abroad graduate faster, with less debt, and have a significant advantage in the competitive job market? With over 200 programs in 60 countries, the University of Oregon is a leader in providing these transformative experiences.
Currently, 34% of UO undergraduates participate in study or intern abroad. Imagine the impact if we could reach 100%. Your support can make that vision a reality.
Your donation to the PathwayOregon Study Abroad Fund, Study Abroad Access for First-Gen and Low-Income Students Fund or the GlobalWorks International Internships Fund will provide crucial scholarships, ensuring that every student, regardless of their financial background, can access the benefits of global education.
Your contribution will directly:
- Reduce financial barriers to study abroad.
- Increase access to international internships.
- Equip students with the skills and experiences they need to succeed.
Don't miss this opportunity to invest in the future of UO students. Give now and help us open doors to the world.
Bringing the World to Eugene
Imagine the University of Oregon without the vibrant tapestry of cultures that international students bring. They don't just study here; they enrich our classrooms, our community, and our understanding of the world. With students, faculty, staff, and visitors from over 90 countries, the UO is a truly global hub.
Our International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) unit acts as the UO's welcoming gateway to the world, providing critical support from visa assistance to cross-cultural guidance. But we can do more. We can empower these exceptional individuals to thrive.
Your generous contribution will open doors for international students, foster cultural exchange and expand horizons both at UO and within the Eugene/Springfield community.
By donating to the International Cultural Service Program Scholarship, the International Crisis Response Scholarship, and the International Student Emergency Fund will directly:
- Open Doors: Provide life-changing scholarships to talented international students.
- Foster Cultural Exchange: Support programs that bring global perspectives to our campus and beyond
- Expand Horizons: Fund programs that send international students to Eugene-Springfield schools, sharing their cultures with younger generations.
These scholarships are more than just financial aid; they're an investment in global understanding and a testament to the UO's commitment to creating a truly international campus. Join us in bringing the world to Eugene. Your gift makes a world of difference.
Be the Catalyst for Global Change
Today's most pressing challenges—sustainable energy, global health, aging populations, and equitable economic opportunities—demand bold, collaborative solutions that transcend borders. True impact doesn't happen in isolation; it happens when research moves beyond the lab and into the field, where it directly transforms lives.
The Global Studies Institute (GSI) is at the forefront of this movement, uniting top scholars from around the world to spark innovation, drive discovery, and create real-world solutions. We're not just advancing knowledge; we're forging powerful partnerships, building bridges, and ensuring that groundbreaking research leads to tangible, lasting change, both locally and globally.
Imagine the Possibilities:
- UO researchers collaborating with scientists in the Amazon to pioneer sustainable solutions for fragile ecosystems.
- Experts unraveling the impact of B1 vitamin deficiencies on childhood diseases, paving the way for life-saving interventions worldwide.
- Student researchers traveling across continents as a force for positive change that extends far beyond our campus.
Your support is the key to unlocking these extraordinary opportunities. With your investment, we can:
- Attract world-class scholars to visit UO for intensive, high-impact collaborations through the Global Oregon Faculty Collaboration Fund—fueling breakthrough research, competitive grants, and worldwide influence.
- Seed new research projects around the world by sending our scholars to critical locations through the International Research Fund—ensuring they have direct access to the data, communities, and environments where solutions can take shape.
