PathwayOregon is UO's cornerstone program supporting the academic achievement of low income Oregonians. The program ensures that academically eligible, Federal Pell Grant eligible (low income) residents have their tuition and fees covered by grant aid, and receive special advising and support to ensure student success and increase graduation rates.
The Diversity Excellence Scholarships fund students with racially and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds: https://financialaid.uoregon.edu/diversity_excellence_scholarship.
UO also has a Food Security Task Force that uses a host of strategies, from produce drops to SNAP benefit enrollment events, to feed hungry students: https://dos.uoregon.edu/food
The TRIO program is a college retention program the provides academic support for students whose "socioeconomic backgrounds, educational records, and personal situations suggest they may experience challenges at the UO that could be alleviated with use of resources offered by SSS": https://triosss.uoregon.edu/
UO offers low cost mental and physical health services.
