The following are the terms and conditions of the Ballmer Scholarship at the University of Oregon.
Requirements
For incoming students: Maintain honorable grades for the remainder of high school, complete all courses required for admission to the UO, and register for at least 12 UO Credits in your first fall term.
For all students: Register for at least 12 UO credits each term, follow the course plan for the Child Behavioral Health major.
Renewal Criteria
Your scholarship renewal is evaluated annually at the end of each spring term. To renew, you must:
- Complete the FAFSA each year by March 1 and complete any additional financial aid verification requirements by Friday of week two of fall term.
- Maintain a 3.00 cumulative UO GPA and meet Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) standards.
- Complete 12 UO credits for each term in which you receive a disbursement of your scholarship (36 credits per year).
- Remain in good standing within the Child Behavioral Health (CBH) major/pre-major. This scholarship is intended for students who are enrolled full time in the child behavioral health major, and can be revoked if a student does not follow the major requirements. Please contact the CBH advising team for support in planning your coursework.
Covering Your Tuition and Fees
The Ballmer Scholarship covers your tuition and fees through a combination of federal grants, state grants, and university grants and scholarships. Financial aid disburses at the beginning of each term to full-time, eligible students. If there are any remaining tuition and fee costs immediately following the last day to add classes, those costs will be covered at that time.
Living Expenses and Other Costs
The Ballmer Scholarship covers a set amount for living expenses (food and housing), depending on whether the student is living on campus, off campus, or at home. This amount is determined each year by the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.
The Ballmer Scholarship cannot be increased to cover living expenses (food and housing) that exceed the set annual amount. Also, the scholarship does not cover transportation, books, course materials, supplies, equipment, or other miscellaneous personal expenses.
Impact of Other Scholarships
If you are the recipient of additional institutional scholarships or stipends, or scholarships from outside providers, your Ballmer Scholarship amount may be adjusted. You may not receive more than your full cost of attendance between all aid sources combined.
Length of Scholarship
The maximum number of terms you may receive the Ballmer Scholarship depends upon your class standing at the time you are awarded. Refer to your initial award email for your exact number of terms of eligibility. Should you graduate before you reach the maximum number of terms awarded, then your Ballmer Scholarship eligibility is over, and the remainder of the award cannot be used toward pursuing other degrees.
Dual Enrollment
Ballmer Scholarship recipients are not eligible for the UO Dual Enrollment program. Students who are interested in taking credits simultaneously at the UO and another college or university, should consult with a financial aid counselor at the Office of Student Financial Aid and Scholarships.
Study Abroad
The Ballmer Scholarship does not cover any costs while a student is on study abroad.
Summer Courses
The Ballmer Scholarship does not cover any costs during summer term.
