University of Oregon International Cultural Service Program Tuition Scholarship

About this scholarship

The University of Oregon International Cultural Service Program (ICSP) Tuition Scholarship supports international students who can serve as cross-cultural ambassadors in the Eugene-Springfield community. Selected ICSP students receive a partial tuition-waiver scholarship; the official ICSP page describes the award as covering approximately half of tuition, while the admissions scholarship page confirms that ICSP applies to tuition only. The scholarship is based on financial need, academic merit, and the applicant's ability to make presentations to diverse groups. It carries a distinctive service requirement: recipients complete 66 to 80 hours of cultural service each year, which may include presentations about their home country and culture to local schools, community organizations, UO students, faculty, and staff, or participation in international campus events. New and continuing international students may apply, and the award is renewable annually until completion of one UO degree if recipients fulfill program requirements. For scholarship and work-study consideration, incoming students should apply for admission by January 15 and ensure admission materials are received by February 15; ICSP itself had a February 13, 2026 deadline for the verified cycle.
