The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a federal law designed to protect the privacy of your student records and regulates how information is utilized.

In accordance with these laws and rules, it is necessary for Oregon State University to obtain formal consent from the student in order to release protected information to a third party, such as scholarship donors.
