Graduate Studies
Be at the beginning of a graduate student’s story.

More than 250,000 artists, scientists, writers, builders, and changemakers have graduated from the UO with an advanced degree. We are proud to support these students.  

Show your support by donating directly to student programming, giving graduate students the advantage to soar.  


Graduate Studies has several programs that support students: 

  • Future Stewards Award: Improving higher education access for Indigenous scholars like Kes-e-loh McQuillen
  • Research innovation: Attracting and supporting bright minds and creators, like National Science Foundation Fellow Heather Dawson
  • Specialized training: Bringing mentor networks and specialized learning beyond the classroom within reach, like professional development award winner Yitong Jiang
  • Community engagement: Sharing graduate student innovations globally, like at the Black Footwear Forum


Your investment allows graduate students to write the stories that change the world. 

20 gifts to these funds on Ducks Give 2025 will unlock a $2,500 challenge gift from Vice Provost Krista Chronister to directly support graduate students! Show your support for graduate education by donating today.
