Applicants must have just finished high school and are applying for fall term admission. Students who meet Oregon Tech’s admissions standards and can demonstrate successful completion of 8 or more STEM college credits receive a $1,000 OWL scholarship for one year. If the college credit was awarded through Oregon Tech, students can receive up to $1,500.

The OWLS scholarship is open to all incoming freshman students; resident or out-of-state students may apply by filling out the OWLS application. OWLS scholarships may be awarded in addition to other scholarships.
