The Fall 2026 OUR Scholars Program application closed on March 26th. Please note that the matching process is conducted manually by our staff. Because of this, there is no definitive date for when notifications will be sent, and updates will occur on a rolling basis.

Additionally, within the competition’s portal, the status “Accepted” indicates that your application is currently under review. If you are successfully matched, your status will be updated to “Awarded.”
