Oregon Opportunity Grant

The Oregon Opportunity Grant program provides awards to qualifying Oregon resident undergraduate students who are enrolled at least half time at an accredited community college or 4-year public or private nonprofit college or university in Oregon. To apply for an Oregon Opportunity Grant, complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Analysis of the personal and financial information you provide on the form will determine your eligibility not only for federal student loans and grants but also for the Opportunity Grant.

Oregon Opportunity Grants are awarded solely on the basis of financial need, with income limits based on a percentage of median family income for Oregon. Award amounts depend on the cost of education at the Oregon college or university you attend. For 2006-07, award amounts for are as follows: $1,398 at an Oregon community college; $1,674 at a university or college in the Oregon University System; and $2,196 to $4,684 at a private independent 4-year college or university (awards vary by institution). Awards for students enrolled between 6 and 11 credit-hours in an academic term are 50% of the award amount for students enrolled full time (at least 12 credit-hours) at the same institution.

If you qualify for an Oregon Opportunity Grant, the school you plan to attend will notify you on your financial aid package. In Oregon, federal funds received through the Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP) are added to the Opportunity Grant program and awarded on the same basis.

The Oregon Opportunity Grant may be received for the equivalent of twelve quarters or eight semesters at full-time enrollment, providing you maintain satisfactory academic progress and file a new FAFSA each year to demonstrate continued financial need. Students enrolled in courses of study leading to degrees in theology, divinity, or religious educations are not eligible for the Oregon Opportunity Grant.

To complete the FAFSA online, go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. For more information about eligibility criteria, income limits, and specific award amounts for the Oregon Opportunity Grant, click here: www.getcollegefunds.org/ong.html.

Instead, use estimates. You can make corrections after you receive your Student Aid Report (SAR) and have finalized your tax returns.
       
    • If you earned a GED or if you are/were home-schooled, be sure to read the instructions for transcripts to make sure you submit the necessary documents with your application.
       
  5. I am home schooled. Can I still qualify for OSAC scholarships?
    Yes. Many OSAC scholarships are open to home-schooled students. These students must submit the following documents with their OSAC scholarship application:
    • A copy of their Confirmation of Enrollment letter on file with their local ESD
    • A copy of the results of their Tenth grade Standardized Achievement Test, required of all home-schooled students who have registered with their local ESD, and
    • A transcript from their home school teacher describing courses taken and the assigned letter grade received. (This transcript must include fall semester of senior year, usually not available until January.)

  6. I haven’t lived in Oregon for 12 months; can I still apply for an OSAC scholarship?
    You may still be able to apply under certain circumstances. Basic requirements are that, unless otherwise specified in the individual scholarship descriptions, you must:
    • Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen in the United States for other than a temporary purpose, and intend to become a permanent resident of the United States.  See list below for scholarships available to non-U.S. citizens/non-eligible noncitizens.
    • Be an Oregon resident. (There are some exceptions; see definition of Oregon resident. Residency is usually established when an independent student or the parents of a dependent student have been in continuous residency in Oregon for 12 months before enrollment.  For exceptions, such as tribal residency, see definition of Oregon resident.  Have Oregon listed as your home of record if you are U.S. military personnel.
    Not owe a refund on an educational grant or be in default on any educations loans.
     
  7. I am NOT a U.S. citizen. Can I still qualify for OSAC scholarships?
    Yes, if you are in the United States for other than a temporary purpose and intend to become a permanent resident of the United States.

  8. I am NOT an Oregon resident. Can I still qualify for OSAC scholarships?
    There are a few, although most OSAC scholarships require that students live in Oregon at least one year prior to September 1 of the school year applied for (e.g., for the 2008-09 school year, students will have had to start living in Oregon no later than September 1, 2007). For dependent students, Oregon residency is determined by the parents' state of residence. Eligible non-citizens who are Oregon residents are able to apply. Please use the Sort Filters feature in the online Scholarship Catalog (https://secure.osac.state.or.us/listScholarships.aspx. ) to locate scholarships for nonresidents of Oregon. If you are a foreign student, you should be aware that all public four-year universities in Oregon offer limited scholarship help through the foreign student fee remission program. Contact the admissions office at the school you plan to attend for more information about this program.
     
  9. I am an Oregon resident planning to attend an out-of-state college. Can I still qualify for OSAC scholarships?
    Yes, many OSAC scholarships are portable to non-Oregon colleges and universities. Restrictions are listed in the scholarship descriptions at https://secure.osac.state.or.us/listScholarships.aspx.
     
  10. Are OSAC scholarships need-based or merit-based?
    Many scholarships are selected on the basis of financial need and merit, but a number of others are based solely on merit.
    • Some merit-only scholarships are selected on the quality of required essays, academic major, high school attended or affiliation with a specific organization.
    • We urge all students, regardless of income, to complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov form as soon after January 1 as possible. Eligibility varies depending on the scholarship for which you are applying—your financial need may be too low in one applicant pool and very competitive in another.
    • Visit the OSAC website view the scholarship descriptions and determine which ones you qualify for.
       
  11. What happens if I make a mistake on my electronic application? As long as you do not click the “Submit” button, you may return to your eApp at www.GetCollegeFunds.org/eapp and update your application.

  12. What should I do if I am unable to complete the electronic application? Complete a paper application and send your Activities Chart, required four short essay answers, transcripts, and other documentation to OSAC by the deadline.
     
  13. What happens if my browser software is not compatible? Complete a paper application and send your activities chart, essays, transcripts, and other documentation to OSAC by the deadline.

You must submit a complete application packet, which includes your application, Activities Chart, four required Short Essay Answers, appropriate transcripts, and other required supporting documentation by the deadline. Many applications are disqualified each year because students fail to submit one or more of the necessary items.
     
  15. What can I do to improve my chances of receiving scholarships? Read and follow all the instructions. We wish we could award every student that has need, but only the students that follow the instructions and submit completed applications with all supporting documents are considered for scholarships.

General Financial Aid

  1. What is the FAFSA for?
    The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) helps determine the amount of student financial aid you are eligible to receive. The information from the FAFSA is used by colleges for determining eligibility for the Pell Grant along with campus-based aid such as work-study and Perkins Loans. The information is also used by OSAC to determine eligibility for the Oregon Opportunity Grant and many of the scholarships administered by OSAC.

    You should file your FAFSA on January 1 or soon thereafter so that you will receive the maximum student aid that you are eligible for. Campus-based aid and the Oregon Opportunity Grants are limited. Many financially needy students who are otherwise eligible miss out on these funds because they file their FAFSA too late. In addition, OSAC scholarships that are need-based require FAFSAs to be filed in a timely manner. So don't wait! File your FAFSA as soon after January 1 as possible. Do not wait until your federal tax form is ready before you complete your FAFSA. Estimate! You can correct your FAFSA information when you receive your Student Aid Report (SAR).

    Filing a FAFSA is like getting in line. You want to file early so that you can get in the front of the line. Student aid funds are usually limited, and those who file early have a clear advantage over those who wait.

    You can file your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

    You will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) when your FAFSA has been processed. It will have all the information you reported on your FAFSA. If any of the information is incorrect on the SAR, you can make corrections on the form and resubmit it. The FAFSA processing agency may ask you to make certain corrections, also. You may be able to process changes in 72 hours or less by requesting that the financial aid office at your school submit the changes electronically.

    When all is well, you will receive notice from the school telling you what type of financial aid package they have put together for you based on the information from your FAFSA. Usually, you will receive this information in April or May.

    The package may include grants, loans, and work study funds, provided you indicated you would accept these types of financial aid on your FAFSA. You should always indicate you would accept any type of aid. It doesn’t obligate you to accept them at the time you file your FAFSA. You can tell the school later exactly what you agree to accept by signing their proposed financial aid package notice, and returning it to them.

  2. What am I applying for when I file a FAFSA?
    Oregon residents who fill out their FAFSA and send it off, automatically apply for the following programs:
    • Oregon Opportunity Grant
    • Federal Pell Grant
    • Federal SEOG Grant
    • Federal Work Study
    • Perkins Loans
    • Stafford Loans
    • PLUS Loans
    • Certain campus based aid programs (check with your college financial aid office for additional applications)
       
  3. How do I apply for financial aid separate from OSAC?
    File your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
     
  4. Where do I go to find information about financial aid?
    Visit your high school or college counselor. You can also find a lot of information on the OSAC website www.GetCollegeFunds.org. We provide links to free, online databases such as MACH 25, FastWEB, and ExPAN, which list thousands of scholarships. A few valuable website resources for students and parents are:
  5. I am attending a community college and want to transfer to a 4-year school. Do you offer financial aid for transfer students?
    Yes. For example, the Oregon Scholarship Fund Transfer Student Award (OCF) - Fund Code 902 is awarded specifically to transfer students who are Oregon residents currently enrolled in their second year at a community college and planning to transfer to a 4-year college in the fall. Also, some of the Ford Scholarships are available to transfer students. See https://secure.osac.state.or.us/listScholarships.aspx for a complete listing of our scholarships. Also, the Oregon Opportunity Grant is available for transfer students and non-transfer students alike.
     
  6. Do you offer financial aid for graduate students?
    Although graduate students no longer qualify for grant aid, OSAC offers several graduate level scholarships. The best way to determine which scholarships you are eligible to apply for is to review the detailed listings online at the OSAC website, where you can filter by "Type of student," or in the OSAC hardcopy application, where you can look for "Graduate" on the toolbars. Review those scholarships and then look for specifics that match your qualifications.
     
  7. What steps should international students take to receive financial aid?
    To be eligible for OSAC-administered privately funded scholarship programs, students must be either a U.S. citizen or be in the United States for other than a temporary purpose and intend to become a permanent resident of the U.S.

    To be eligible for the OSAC-administered Oregon Opportunity Grant, students must be either a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen. Students studying in Oregon on a student visa do not qualify.

    Generally, you are considered an eligible noncitizen if you are one of the following:

    • a U.S. permanent resident with a Permanent Resident Card (formerly known as an Alien Registration Card or “Green Card”)
    • a conditional permanent resident (I-551C)
    • an other eligible noncitizen with an Arrival-Departure Record (I-94) from the Department of Homeland Security showing any one of the following designations:
      • Refugee
      • Asylum Granted
      • Indefinite Parole
      • Humanitarian Parole
      • Cuban-Haitian Entrant

    You are NOT an eligible non-citizen if you are in the U.S. on an F1 or F2 student visa or only J1 or J2 exchange visitor visa, a G series visa (pertaining to international organizations), or other categories not included under eligible noncitizen (see above).

    All public four-year universities in Oregon offer limited scholarship help through the Foreign Student Fee Remission program. Contact the admissions office at the school you plan to attend for more information about this program. For more information, visit www.edupass.org or www.finaid.org/otheraid/international.phtml.

  8. I am interested in scholarships for correspondence/online courses. Would this be considered a USA college if it is not through a specific university or college?
    Students receiving OSAC-administered scholarships must attend a "USA college" and the college must be accredited and able to receive Title IV federal funds. Ask the school you wish to attend if it meets these requirements.
     
  9. Do you have grants for cosmetology or beauty school?
    Yes. Visit our student website www.getcollegefunds.com/p_scholarships_other.html for more information. Also, visit https://secure.osac.state.or.us/listScholarships.aspx for a listing of OSAC scholarships.
     
  10. How do I know if a scholarship offer is legitimate?
    Students and parents can do extensive scholarship searches on the Internet. Start with the OSAC website www.GetCollegeFunds.org/p_scholarship_scams.html. You can link to free, online databases such as MACH 25, FastWEB, and ExPAN, all of which list thousands of scholarships. Another good web page about student financial aid is Finaid! The SmartStudent Guide to Financial Aid. Oregon high school and community colleges have computer links to the Oregon Career Information System (CIS) database, another good source of information for Oregon residents.

    WARNING: The Attorney General of the State of Oregon and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission have both issued warnings and taken action against companies that “guarantee” scholarships to families using for-a-fee scholarship search services. State and federal authorities would like to remind families that using the word “guarantee” in promotional materials is a questionable activity of scholarship search businesses.

    For more scholarship scam information, go to www.ftc.gov/ or www.finaid.org.

Loan Forgiveness & Loan Repayment Programs

  1. Do you have any information regarding rural repayment programs?
    The Oregon Rural Health Services (RHS) Program was created to encourage physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants to practice in rural areas in the State of Oregon that have “unmet health care needs.”
