Christmas vacation to-dos: FAFSA and scholarships

Happy Holidays from the George Fox financial aid office! This year, all we want for Christmas is for you to get more financial aid in 2026-27.

Winter break will be a great opportunity to spend some time researching and applying for different types of aid. We’ve made a list (and checked it twice) to help you get started!

  1. The 2026-27 FAFSA is open and should be submitted ASAP! Have questions? Check out our FAFSA Frequently Asked Questions page and our Tips and Tricks for the FAFSA article, or schedule a FAFSA Help Session with your financial aid counselor.
  2. Oregon residents can now apply for OSAC Scholarships. One application grants access to more than 600 scholarships totaling more than $10 million! Need help? Check out our OSAC Scholarship Tips & Tricks blog and our OSAC Scholarship Guide!
  3. All returning traditional undergraduate students can apply for George Fox Donor-Funded Scholarships. Submit by Feb. 17 for the chance to win a $500 Early Bird Scholarship. Getting the application done early is strongly encouraged, as some scholarships require additional materials which will not appear until after the main application is submitted.
  4. Look through this Outside Scholarships page for links to regional and national scholarship search databases.
  5. Check out our Scholarship Resource Folder for valuable templates, tips and timelines. We have more tools than Santa’s workshop to help you build a great application, cast a wide net and increase your chances of earning scholarships.

If you have any questions, contact or visit financial aid!
