The George Fox donor-funded and OSAC scholarship applications are open, so now is the time to start thinking about scholarships for the 2023-24 academic year.
One application could give you the opportunity to be matched with one of our 200+ donor-funded scholarships. These scholarships range from $500 to $15,000, and you can start your application here.
Examples of criteria include, but are not limited to, background, academic major, financial need, career goals and grade level. Please visit the George Fox Donor-Funded Scholarships webpage for more information.
The OSAC Scholarship Application provides Oregon students with one easy application to apply for multiple scholarships at one time. The OSAC awards more than $10 million in scholarships annually through more than 600 scholarships. Start your application now at the OSAC website.
Both applications will close March 1. If you have questions about the donor-funded scholarship application, please contact Brennan Rains at brains@georgefox.edu.

Please be aware that the last day to withdraw with a “W” grade from a class spanning the whole length of the semester is Sunday, Nov. 6.
If you review your mid-semester grades and think it is in your best interests to withdraw from a class, you must do so in MyGeorgeFox by following these instructions by 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6.
Withdrawal from a class records a “W” grade on your transcript. A “W” grade has no impact on your GPA. However, reducing your number of completed courses this semester may affect future semester planning.
Be sure to check in with your faculty advisor or CAP coach if you have questions.
