Federal and State Grant Programs
The Federal Pell Grant is funded by the federal government. Funds are awarded to high need students based on results from the FAFSA. Eligibility for the Pell Grant is set by the federal government.
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is awarded to high need students according to eligibility standards set by the federal government. Funds from this program are available only to students who file the FAFSA and demonstrate extremely high need. Awards may be limited due to availability of funds.
The Oregon Opportunity Grant (OOG) program is funded through The Oregon Student Assistance Commission (OSAC). This grant is generally awarded to high need students as determined by the FAFSA, policies set by OSAC and who are residents of the State of Oregon.
The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant program provides grants of up to $4,000 per year to students who agree to teach full-time in a high-need field for four years at an elementary school, secondary school, or educational service agency that serves students from low-income families. The TEACH Grant does not have to be repaid unless the student fails to carry out service obligations, in which case the student must repay TEACH Grant as Direct Unsubsidized Loan with interest accrued from date grant was disbursed. To be eligible, students must complete the Agreement to Serve and TEACH Entrance Counseling each year. To learn more information or apply, visit teach-ats.ed.gov
