Financial Aid Opportunity for Oregon Students
Oregon students have two opportunities for additional financial aid for the 2014-15 academic year. If you plan to attend at least half time next Fall in an undergraduate program, please continue reading!
It’s time to start working on your OSAC scholarship application. Go to: www.OregonStudentAid.gov and apply online for any of the more of than 450 scholarship programs that OSAC administers. This scholarship opportunity closes on March 1st.
OSAC also administers the Oregon Opportunity Grant (OOG) for undergraduates. Please be aware that these funds are given based on the income of the student and parents as well as THE DATE OF YOUR FIRST FAFSA FILING. Please be sure to file your 2014-15 FAFSA no later than January 31st. In the past few years, OSAC has had to cut off funds to students that file in February or later even though they may have otherwise qualified. Please file your FAFSA now if you have not already. It is fine to estimate income number on the first FAFSA. Once you have completed your 2013 taxes, you can update the FAFSA using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Don’t miss out on funding by filing too late.
