Oregon State University: international tuition 41,110 USD per year, one-year total cost 56,950 USD, acceptance rate 77.3%. Merit scholarships are open to international students. Published minimum English scores: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 4, Duolingo 110.

First-year Vietnamese students can receive the automatic $12,000/year Vietnam Regional Award or the $6,000/year merit-based Provost's Scholarship, but not both. Nothing was found on need-based aid or need-blind admission for international students.

Getting in. The school admits 77.3% of applicants. Admitted students scored around Reading and Writing 580–700, Math 560–700, ACT 24–31. The SAT and ACT are optional: a score counts if you send one, and you can still apply without it. For English, the school asks for IELTS 6.5+, TOEFL iBT 4+ or Duolingo 110+.

Cost for a year. One year comes to 56,950 USD, before any scholarship. 4 scholarships are confirmed for international students, but nothing is taken off yet because the amount of each one is not clear. Health insurance is 2,880 USD a year.

Deadline and visa. The application deadline for fall is 2/11. You apply through Common App. How long the visa takes is up to the consulate; see the country note.

Scholarships and aid for international students

Merit for intl studentsi
Yes
Need-based for intli
Unclear
  • Is merit considered automatically with the application?YesThe Provost's Scholarship says no separate application is needed and qualified applicants are automatically considered; the Regional Award is also given automatically with the offer.
  • Is admission need-blind for international applicants?UnclearNo page says whether admission decisions for international students take ability to pay into account, so need-blind status cannot be determined.
  • Is the CSS Profile or a school aid form required?UnclearThe pages never mention CSS Profile or a separate international aid form; the international scholarships are mostly automatic, with only the Honorary Scholarship needing an application.
