The Financial Aid Office Records document
the administration of student loan and scholarship programs at Oregon State
University. Financial aid became available for OSU students in 1911; in 1966, a
centralized financial aid office was established for the University.
Materials in English.
Historical Note:
Financial aid became available for OSU students in 1911 when the student
loan fund was established. In 1918 the loan fund, valued at $15,000, was
incorporated. Early chairs of the fund included W. M. Atwood (1918-1948) and
William Langan (1948-1966). The Bernard Daly Educational Fund was established
in 1922 to provide scholarships to students from Lake County. In 1966 a
financial aid committee was established and a centralized financial aid office
was created. Richard Pahre was the first director.
The Student Loan Fund records include loan applications and committee
actions, correspondence, annual statements, journals and ledgers, and a survey
compiled by the Student Loan Committee on the status of instruction on personal
finance. The Other Loan Funds records include materials pertaining to the
Benson Loan/Scholarship Fund, the Crawford Student Loan Fund, the Ben Selling
Loan Fund, and the Student War Loans Program. The Scholarship Committee records
consist predominately of reports of scholarships awarded. The Other Records
subgroup includes correspondence, information pertaining to financial aid for
women, budget requests, and policies and procedures. The Bernard Daly
Educational Fund records include correspondence pertaining to the fund, lists
of students who received scholarships, Daly's will and the legal interpretation
of it, annual reports for Oregon State College and the University of Oregon,
biennial audits, and a thesis by W.H. Kurtz about the impact of the fund on
Lake County students.
The Financial Aid Records are organized into five subgroups: 1. Student
Loan Fund, Inc.; 2. Other Loan Funds; 3. Scholarship Committee; 4. Other
Records; and 5. Bernard Daly Educational Fund. Most series within each subgroup
are arranged chronologically.
Collection is open for research. Certain series are restricted; see
detailed description of the collection.
