Scholarships and Prizes

Each year the department awards a number of undergraduate scholarships, with particular emphasis on enabling students to study abroad in Germany and Scandinavia. Please see our Study Abroad page for details on how to apply.

At our annual Spring Celebration in May, we also bestow scholarship awards on the basis of academic merit and financial need. (For need-based scholarships, students must have an up-to-date FAFSA on file at the UO Financial Aid Office.)

We would like to thank our generous donors for the scholarships they have endowed:

  • Anderson Scandinavian Studies Scholarship
  • Philip and Teresa Hansen Germanic Languages and Literature Scholarship
  • The Beth Maveety Study Abroad Scholarship
  • Herbert Merker Scholarship in German and Scandinavian
  • Helmut Plant German Undergraduate Scholarship
  • Leona M. Kail Scholarship
 

Students are also encouraged to apply for these scholarships administered by the College of Arts and Sciences
