Donate

The Student Academy to Inspire Learning (SAIL) program is funded by the University of Oregon’s Presidential Scholarship and through your private donations.  Our prestigious faculty here at the UO volunteer their time with SAIL, allowing the majority of our funding to go directly to support our students.

Charitable donations are tax-deductible and are earmarked for the SAIL program.

How You Can Help

In addition to expanding the overall size of the program and increasing the number of residential spaces for non-local students, we would like to:

  • Expand our capacity to interact with and advise our students and their parents year-round through mentorship and tutorial programs
  • Provide scholarships for SAIL seniors to attend the UO
  • Host events at the UO during the school year for SAIL students and their families to increase parental involvement

“The SAIL Program allowed me to get early exposure on a university campus while providing vital information on the admissions process, scholarship availability and changing my mindset that higher education is possible.”

“I learned so much about the University of Oregon and its opportunities during SAIL, that I was not only more comfortable applying to the university, but also more comfortable when I was accepted as a student.”
