The Department of Computer Science offers several scholarships and awards for students of the department. Additional opportunities for students are available through CAS and UO.
J. Donald Hubbard Family Scholarship in Computer and Information Science
Established in 2003 by the Hubbard family, this scholarship is awarded to a senior undergrad or a graduate student in computer science. Preference is given to students who show an interest in human-computer interaction, computer graphics, or multimedia. Secondary criteria are significant contributions of time and energy to the department through volunteer efforts. Academic ranking is also considered but is not the dominant factor in the determination of the scholarship recipient. Typically, awards are made for one year but may be repeated for another year.
Erwin & Gertrude Juilfs Scholarship in Computer Science
The UO offers specific pathways into work opportunities internationally with Global Education Oregon. The GlobalWorks Internship program accepts applications every quarter to pair students with an organization for a quarter-long internship abroad. Accepted applicants select both their location and field of interest, interviewing with one or more prospective organizations to determine their final landing spot. Working internationally is a great way to distinguish yourself as a candidate once you graduate. Plus, the cultural and global experience you will gain only enhances the hands-on experience you will get from a global internship.
Phillip Seeley Scholarship in Computer Science
Established in 2007 by Phillip Seeley ('68, BS Mathematics), this scholarship is awarded to outstanding undergraduate students majoring in computer and information science at the College of Arts and Sciences. Candidates are evaluated based on the overall quality of their academic work, their commitment to learning, and their potential for further academic achievement. Preference is given to resident Oregon students.
Geoffery Eric Wright Outstanding Junior Award
This award was established in 1996 by Shari ('83) and Gary Wright in memory of their son Geoffery who died prior to spring term of his senior year. Geoffery would have graduated first in his class. This award was established to reward hard work and give encouragement during the senior year. It is awarded to students upon completing their junior year of instruction. Candidates are evaluated based on the overall quality of their academic work, their commitment to learning, and a promise of further outstanding achievement in computer and information sciences and its applications.
