The Franz Stenzel M.D. and Kathryn Stenzel II Scholarship supports Oregon residents who are graduates of Oregon high schools and are continuing their postsecondary education. The scholarship is not open to graduating high school seniors and excludes students pursuing degrees in medicine, nursing, or physician assistant programs. Preference is given to nontraditional students, first-generation college students, and those nearing completion of their academic programs. Applicants must enroll at least half time and meet minimum GPA requirements - 2.75 for first-time freshmen and 2.50 for continuing college students. Financial need is considered through the required FAFSA or ORSAA, and the scholarship is automatically renewable for students who meet renewal criteria. February 15 is the early bird deadline and March 1 is the final deadline for all applications and materials to be submitted to OSAC. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Oregon Office of Student Access and Completion for more information.
