The Ballmer Scholarship

The Ballmer Scholarship is a renewable scholarship for Oregon residents interested in pursuing careers in children’s behavioral health. A limited number of these scholarships are available to incoming first year and incoming transfer students each year. Financial need and academic qualifications are considered in the awarding process, with a preference for students with demonstrated financial need from the Portland metro-area and rural Oregon. Ballmer Scholars receive UO resident tuition, fees and living expenses through a combination of federal grants, state grants, university grants and scholarships for up to four years of undergraduate study.

UO Financial Aid


Financial Aid

Many scholarships are based on financial need, so it is important for you to complete the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA) by the federal deadline.

Submit the University of Oregon as your university of choice. Our code is 003223.

Free Application for Student Financial Aid


International students and those not able to file a FAFSA are encouraged to establish financial need for UO scholarships by submitting a financial resources form to the Division of Global Engagement.

Dreamer students including students who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status or Temporary Protected Status (TPS) as well as other undocumented students who are ineligible to submit a FAFSA may submit an Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA), which is an alternative to the FAFSA.
