"I’m deeply grateful for my time at the University of Oregon. It was the only U.S. institution I applied to, drawn by its distinctive niche offerings in my field and its strong commitment to interdisciplinary research. That promise was fulfilled in ways that shaped me profoundly, both intellectually and personally. Set on the Indigenous lands of the Kalapuya people, the university’s setting offered an atmosphere of contemplative reflection. Support systems like a strong graduate union, affordable university housing, and a free public transit made a real difference to quality of life. My time here has been one of transformation. Being at the University of Oregon has been both a joy and a privilege — an experience I will always carry with me forever, wherever I go."

Scholarships for Indian Master’s Students

At the University of Oregon, we are committed to supporting outstanding students from India in achieving their academic and career goals. To make your graduate education more affordable, we offer two key scholarship opportunities exclusively for Indian master’s students:

1. Institutional Scholarship (Automatic)

When you apply for admission, you are automatically considered for an Institutional Scholarship of up to $4,000. This award is granted at the time of admission — no separate application is required.

2. The Sushil Jajodia Indian Student Scholarship (Endowed)

In addition to the Institutional Scholarship, you may apply for the prestigious Sushil Jajodia Indian Student Scholarship, an endowed fund created exclusively to support Indian students. Awards are up to $5,000 and are based on financial need and scholastic ability. Students must also meet the minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA requirement.

How to Apply

  • First, complete your program application to the University of Oregon.
  • Within 3 days of applying for admission, you will find your UO Student ID (95xxxxxxx number) in your Admissions Status Portal.
  • You’ll need this number to create an account to apply for UO scholarships.
  • Go to the UO Scholarship Dashboard, complete the Profile, and then submit the ISSS Endowed Scholarships Application.
  • Submit your Jajodia Scholarship application as soon as you have your UO Student ID (and no later than February 13).

Additional notes:

  • Students may apply during their first year and again in subsequent years (renewal is possible but not guaranteed).
  • Funds may be used for tuition, living expenses, and books.

How It Works

  1. Apply to your UO master’s program.
  2. Automatically be considered for the Institutional Scholarship.
  3. Submit your Jajodia Scholarship application as soon as you have your UO Student ID (and latest by February 13).

These scholarships reflect UO’s commitment to attracting talented students from India and ensuring that financial barriers do not stand in the way of your success.
