Share your feedback on the OSAC scholarship application by Oct. 8

Tuesday, October 1st, 2024

If you have completed or attempted an OSAC (Oregon Student Aid) scholarship application in past academic years, the Financial Aid Office invites you to complete the survey below!

Students have expressed discouragement and frustration with the application, stating that it is too long, tedious, and complicated. We want to help students submit their applications with confidence, since we know they can be a great source of funding for many of our students.

With your feedback, we hope to identify the difficulties in the application and offer resources to assist you this year. Please follow the link and submit your survey by Tuesday, Oct. 8. Thanks in advance for your help!

For questions, contact finaid@georgefox.edu.
