UNIVERSITY OF OREGON PathwayOregon 2023 Report



Fellow Ducks, On behalf of the University of Oregon, I want to express our deepest gratitude for your incredible support of the PathwayOregon program. Your generous contributions have made a profound difference in the lives of our students, and we cannot thank you enough. The PathwayOregon program has transformed the educational landscape for more than 8,400 students at the University of Oregon in its nearly 15-year history. These students were given the opportunity to pursue their dreams of higher education without the burden of tuition and fees. Your unwavering support has enabled us to offer these bright and talented individuals a pathway to success, regardless of their financial circumstances. Beyond the financial assistance, the PathwayOregon program provides our students with personalized academic advising. This additional support is crucial in helping them navigate the challenges of university life and stay on track to graduate on time. By ensuring that our students receive the guidance they need, you have played an instrumental role in their academic achievements and personal growth. Since the program’s inception, more than $55.7 million from donors like you, have helped transform the lives of some of Oregon’s brightest who thought getting a college degree was out of reach. The impact of your generosity extends far beyond the classroom walls. Thanks to the PathwayOregon program, our students have been able to fully immerse themselves in their studies, engage in extracurricular activities, and contribute to the vibrant campus community. They have blossomed into leaders, scholars, and agents of positive change, and their accomplishments stand as a testament to your invaluable investment in their future. Your dedication to the PathwayOregon program has not only empowered individual students but has also made a significant impact on our society as a whole. By removing financial barriers and fostering an inclusive educational environment, you have contributed to building a more equitable society, where opportunities are not limited by economic circumstances. Your philanthropy is an inspiration to us all, and it serves as a reminder of the transformative power of education. Once again, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to you for your unwavering support of the PathwayOregon program. Your generosity has paved the way for countless success stories and has instilled hope in the hearts of our students. We are honored to have you as our partner in this remarkable journey. Together, we are making a lasting impact on their lives and the future of our great institution.

With gratitude and appreciation,

Minding the Gap PathwayOregon is a promise that tuition and fees will be covered for four years, as long as students remain eligible and meet academic requirements. However, the amount the UO provides varies according to each student’s needs, enabling us to leverage state and federal funds.

Graduation Rates The four-year graduation rates of PathwayOregon students greatly exceed historical rates for low-income Oregonians. In 2007, the year before the Pathway program was launched, the average four-year graduation rate for Federal Pell Grant recipients attending the UO was 31 percent, slightly better than the rate at other Oregon public universities. Just one year later, the first cohort of Pathway students entered the UO—a cohort that

graduated at a rate of 43 percent. Now, 14 years after the inception of the Pathway program, an incredible 56 percent of Pathway students that entered the UO in 2018 graduated in four years.
