A UP EDUCATION IS ATTAINABLE

An Affordable Option

At University of Portland, we believe that financial barriers should not limit access to quality education. We offer a range of financial aid options, including scholarships, grants, loans, work-study, and more.

Our goal is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to pursue their academic dreams without undue financial burden. In fact, the average financial aid award at UP, not including loans or work study, is $44,869!

FIND YOUR NEW HOME

Meet The City of Roses

Picture this: a vibrant, sustainable city with opportunities to become who you’re meant to be around every corner. Situated in a residential neighborhood in North Portland, you’re just 20 minutes away from restaurants and shops in downtown Portland or just 60 miles from Mount Hood excursions.

Not to mention, you’ll have opportunities at top companies like Nike, Columbia Sportswear, Intel, and adidas, who call Portland home.

SAFE AND SOUND ON THE BLUFF

A Community On and Off Campus

Situated on The Bluff, University of Portland is nestled in a safe, residential neighborhood, overlooking the Willamette River and downtown Portland.

In fact, many UP students, faculty, and staff live just off campus and are an integral part of the greater UP community. Talk about a great place to be…join us on The Bluff!
