Federal & State Grant Programs

Students must file the FAFSA to be eligible to receive state and federal aid. The Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA) is an alternative to the FAFSA for undocumented Oregon students and may be filed to be eligible to receive state aid. 

Eligible students should complete the FAFSA or ORSAA as soon as possible after the applications open each year. Applying early ensures that students can access the most financial aid opportunities available to them. 

Federal Pell Grant

This grant is funded by the federal government. Funds are awarded to high-financial-need students based on their SAI as determined by the FAFSA. Eligibility for the Pell Grant is set by the Department of Education.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant

FSEOG is a limited fund awarded to high-financial-need students based on their SAI as determined by the FAFSA. Eligibility standards are set by the Department of Education.

TEACH Grant Program

The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education grant program provides up to $4,000 per year to eligible students and does not have to be repaid unless the student fails to carry out service obligations. If a student fails to complete the requirements, they must repay the TEACH Grant as a Direct Unsubsidized Loan with interest accrued from the date the grant was disbursed. 

Oregon Student Aid Grants

For many state grants, eligibility is based on your financial need, which is determined by the FAFSA or ORSAA. Some grants consider additional factors. Most grants have their own application and deadlines.  Click the links below to learn more.
