EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A 1946 University of Oregon graduate is donating $5 million for scholarships for the children of middle-class families.
To qualify for the $5,000-a-year grants, students must show financial need, but they can’t be eligible for federal grants that target low-income students.
The Eugene Register-Guard reports (http://bit.ly/nYIWVg ) that undergraduate tuition and fees are $8,190 this year.
Students who register for at least 12 credits a term and keep a 3.0 grade-point average can renew the scholarships for up to four years. The applicants have to have attended four years of high school in Oregon, with a 3.6 average.
