Southern Oregon University

I chose SOU because of the great financial aid I received through several SOU Foundation scholarships. And the campus community is the right size to give you a small (but not too small) school feel.

Giving to SOU enhances the teaching and learning environment. Your generosity makes the educational experience possible for many who might not have had the opportunity to further their education.

The purpose of the SOU Foundation, established in 1959, is to support and promote the educational, scientific, and charitable activities of Southern Oregon University. The Foundation accomplishes this by generating financial support through partnerships and individual contributions. Southern Oregon University’s donors play an integral role in enhancing the University and its programs and have a strong impact on university life. Gifts provide scholarships for students and help fund new programs and projects. By forging partnerships with the regional, national and international community, SOU will accomplish its goal of becoming a nationally recognized contemporary public liberal arts university.
