Portland State University is committed to ensuring all students have the access and support they need to achieve their goals. Through the President's Equal Access Scholarship, PSU is able to support students from diverse backgrounds and experiences, including racial and ethnic backgrounds, that are traditionally underrepresented in higher education.
The President's Equal Access Scholarship has helped students in significant ways:
- Provided crucial support to diverse first generation college students to obtain a higher education degree.
- Provided critical funding to pay for tuition for students with little to zero Student Aid Index (SAI), often times averting the need for a student to drop-out due to lack of funding.
- Provided opportunities for service learning and campus involvement.
- Facilitated student engagement around issues relevant to our desire to be an equitable and inclusive community.
- Supported students who have typically being underrepresented in higher education.
- Supported non-traditionally aged students.
