The six new University of Oregon Stamps Scholars were featured Tuesday on OregonLive, the online version of The Oregonian. The high school seniors are among the top students in the state and will enroll this fall at the UO.

The Stamps Scholarship is the most prestigious and generous merit award from the University of Oregon. It provides tuition, room and board, and access to an enrichment fund that helps students pursue study abroad, internships and other experiences, and is renewable for four years.

“UO officials say the super-sized scholarships also allow the Eugene school to enroll Oregon students with the credentials to get into any school in the country. That keeps them in their home state for college and, officials hope, beyond,” wrote Betsy Hammond.

“They can concentrate fully on who they want to become,” said Roger Thompson, vice president for enrollment management.
