Scholarships

The Corvallis Community Thrift Shop is a 501(c) (3) organization. Our scholarships are made possible by the work of the Thrift Shop in Corvallis.

90 years supporting our community

Since 1930, the OSU Folk Club Thrift Shop has awarded scholarships benefiting students attending Oregon State University. Last year, these scholarships totaled nearly $84,000 thanks to the generosity and support of our community!

Scholarships are made possible by proceeds from the Corvallis Community Thrift Shop and by donations from individuals or organizations. Contact us to learn more about how your donations can make an impact on local students.

Scholarship applications for the 2026-2027 academic year are available from February 1, 2026 to March 15, 2026.

Thank you to all our applicants and to all of the Thrift Shop volunteers whose efforts make these scholarships possible.
