The University of Oregon is committed to delivering our students an education that empowers discovery, fuels innovation, and opens doors to a lifetime of opportunity. When students join the UO, they become part of a community driven by curiosity, creativity, and a shared determination to make a positive impact on the world.
Tuition plays a central role in supporting this experience. Along with state funding, it provides the resources that make the UO’s academic excellence possible.
These funds support the faculty and staff who mentor and challenge students, the classrooms and laboratories where ideas take shape, and the libraries, advising services, and technology that help students thrive.
Tuition also helps sustain the facilities that keep campus running, and the teams who support making the University of Oregon a world-class institution.
A portion of tuition helps fund approximately $70 million in undergraduate financial aid and scholarships each year. This investment ensures the UO remains accessible to talented, motivated students from varied walks of life, supporting those who are ready to learn, lead, and make an impact. It reflects the university’s commitment to opening doors for every qualified student who aspires to become a Duck.
