It is that time of year for all students to file their 2015-16 FAFSA, but for undergraduate students from Oregon, it is especially important that you file before the end of January. Each year funding for the Oregon Opportunity Grant runs short for students who would otherwise qualify. The Oregon office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC) oversees this program and must limit funding to early eligible FAFSA filers.
When you submit in January, it is not necessary to have your federal taxes filed. Simply estimate your 2014 income for you and (if dependent) your parents. Those that file in February will most likely not be considered for the grant which, for a full-time student, is $2,000.
Please don’t miss the potential help for your college costs! Click here to go to the FAFSA page.

Join us for chapel with guest speaker Rebecca Hamm this today (Tuesday) at 10:50 a.m. in Bauman Auditorium.
A Claremont native, Rebecca Hamm received her B.A. from California Polytechnic University and her M.F.A. from the Claremont Graduate University. In addition to producing and exhibiting her artwork throughout the region, she is the Program Director for the First Street Gallery Art Center in Claremont and is an adjunct Art Instructor at 3 local universities.
Rebecca’s work presents points where nature overcomes and reclaims –gradually or dramatically– human constructs. Rebecca creates energetic, abstracted visions that overflow with color and hidden life. At a distance, the stream emerges and the rock forms in a constant state of flux. The serenity of nature is simultaneously presented as mysterious and comforting; fascinating and awe striking; terrifying and instructive.
