FAFSA 

Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid in order to gain access to grants, loans, scholarships and work study to help pay for postsecondary education. We hold workshops for your students in January to get help and are happy to schedule one on one appointments to fill out the FAFSA online as well.  Every year the FAFSA opens on January first and though Oregon does not have a due date for submitting, we do recommend completing it as soon as possible because funds are released on a first-come first-served basis. Some schools may also have a deadline for receiving FAFSA information, so be sure to check with the requirements at your school(s) of choice!
Check out the video below for tips on filling out the FAFSA:

Undocumented and DACA students must complete the ORSAA to be eligible for Oregon Opportunity Grant, Oregon Promise, and certain OSAC Scholarships. Visit the FAFSA & ORSAA page to learn more.
Security & Use of ORSAA Data: The ORSAA is used exclusively by the state of Oregon, not the federal government.

Data from the ORSAA is private, secure information that is not shared with the federal government or other outside entities. The ORSAA is NOT used to identify or deport undocumented individuals.
