Scholarships help students reduce student loan debt, open doors to higher education, and recognize and reward achievement. Your gift through a scholarship can bridge that gap, empowering a student to achieve their dreams and change the world. In the 2023-2024 academic year, 604 scholarship recipients received $1.8 million in scholarships.
Southern Oregon University recently marked its 150th anniversary, offering a poignant opportunity in 2023 to both reminisce about our rich history and envision the exceptional achievements awaiting us in the future. Thanks to the generosity of over 2,600 donors, a historic total of $15.4 million was contributed in FY 2023 to bolster the university’s endeavors.
