Oregon State University (OSU) is a coeducational, public research university located in Corvallis, Oregon, United States. The university offers undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees and a multitude of research opportunities. There are over 200 academic degree programs offered through the university. OSU's programs in nuclear engineering, ecology, forestry, public health, biochemistry, zoology, oceanography, food science and pharmacy are recognized nationally as top tier programs. In recent years, OSU's liberal arts programs have also grown significantly. The College of Liberal Arts is now one of the largest programs on campus. Over 200,000 people have attended OSU since its founding. The Carnegie Foundation classifies Oregon State University as a "very high research activity" university.
Oregon State is one of 73 land-grant universities currently operating throughout the world. The school is also recognized as a sea-grant, space-grant and sun-grant institution, making it one of only two US institutions to retain all four designations and the only public university to do so (Cornell is the only other with similar designations). In addition to Oregon State's many federally designated areas of research, the university receives more funding for research, annually, than all the state's other public higher educational institutions combined.
===Rankings and recognition=== OSU has more majors, minors and special programs than any other university or college in Oregon. A 2007 study, ranking the world's top 500 universities by academic merit, ranks OSU higher than any other university or college in Oregon. In the study, Oregon State placed among the top 70 universities in the United States and was recognized as one of the top 150 universities in the world. A 2007 ranking by STACK magazine placed OSU as one of the nation's top 50 universities in "academics, athletic opportunity and overall performance." Oregon State was 29th overall and the only public university ranked in the state of Oregon.

Best Answer
you can use any scholarship that you are awarded.
first, contact the university and ask for the financial aid dept. DONT let them talk you into loans. avoid loans if at all possible.
try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying.
every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc
heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.
Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.
OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.

Question:
Which is better Oregon state university or Virginia Commonwhealth University in Pharmacy ?
not only the university , but also i want to know about the people and city like Corvallis / Oregon State or Richmond / Virginia State . Please help me .

Best Answer
I can't help you with the Virginia State part, but I can help with the OSU.
I'm not in the college of pharmacy, but I do know the University as a whole. It is really great. Really friendly, outgoing, and fun people. A lot of time is spent enjoying the sun in the spring when we get a break from the rain and you're always welcome to join a game of Frisbee, baseball, football, soccer, whatever.
You may get a really cool advisor who is totally willing to help you with anything and there are some really really awesome teachers. If you do go here, Dr. Greaves' human sexuality (hdfs 240) is the most popular class on campus and the best one.
The campus is beautiful and perfectly manicured. I don't recommend coming here if you have strong allergies though. Also, remember that OSU was originally an agriculture school so on occasion you'll wake up to the "farm fresh" smell!!!
OoooooooSsssssUuuuuuuuu! OSU!!!
*Edit* One more thing, OSU is a very liberal University. We do have a strong conservative club if you're into that...but just be prepared. Also, we're very political.
