Fall charges are due on Thursday, Aug. 15. Do you have a plan in place to pay your balance? Review and follow these steps to make sure your financial aid is ready to go on time!

1. File your FAFSA! If you have not filed yet, or if you still need to make corrections to your existing FAFSA, you will need to submit the application as soon as possible for us to package any federal and state aid you might be eligible for.
2. Check your MyGeorgeFox To Do List. In many cases, we are unable to issue or even offer aid until checklist items are completed. Instructions have been provided in MyGeorgeFox for any tasks that have been assigned to you.
3. Accept your Stafford loans. If you want to use your federal Stafford loans, you can accept them in your MyGeorgeFox account under the Financial Aid tile. You also have the options to reduce or decline your loans.
4. Apply for PLUS/private loans. To add a federal PLUS loan or a private loan to your financial aid package, apply by July 15 to ensure the funds will be disbursed by the payment due date.
5. Report outside scholarships. If you have received any external scholarships, let us know so we can add them to your award package.
6. Apply for a payment plan. We offer five-month payment plans each semester, and the first payment for the fall term will be due on July 15. To apply, complete this Payment Estimator and submit a Payment Selection Form as soon as possible.

We encourage you to have all of these steps completed by Aug. 1. Students also need to be enrolled full time (12 or more credits) to receive their institutional aid each semester.

Please schedule an appointment with your financial aid counselor or contact our main office at finaid@georgefox.edu if you have any questions.

Join us on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. as we host our inaugural Prayer for Oregon Schools event by the Centennial Tower in the quad! We will engage in a time of worship, small-group and/or individual prayer, and fellowship.

Bring your family and friends (as well as something to sit on) as we pray for the upcoming school year. We’ll pray for our K-12 and higher ed students, faculty, staff, parents, school communities, boards, leaders and more.

It’s our hope that people will join us as we step out in faith as the church and prayerfully invite the Lord into this area that needs more light – our Oregon schools. The event is open to anyone who has a desire to come collectively in prayer and bring our schools and the people who are in them to the feet of Jesus.

A guided prayer booklet will also be available for those interested in additional points of prayer for the event. Please do not hesitate to contact Sara Hahn-Huston, assistant professor of educational leadership in the College of Education, at shahnhuston@georgefox.edu for more information, or if you would like a digital postcard invitation to share with friends.
