Oregon State Financial Aid
State Financial Aid for College...
Just as there is federal Financial Aid for College, the state of Oregon also offers different forms of Oregon state Financial Aid for College in the form of Oregon specific student loans, Oregon specific grants, Oregon specific scholarships, and other state of Oregon specific aid programs.Just as you must file FAFSA for federal Financial Aid for College, the state of Oregon also requires you to file the FAFSA form for consideration of Oregon state aid programs. Essentially by filing your FAFSA, you kill two birds with one stone. When you submit the FAFSA to the US Department of Education, they will simply forward your information on the FAFSA to the Oregon student financial assistance agency.
It is extremely important to note that each state has a different FAFSA submission deadline, and if you miss this deadline you will NOT be eligible to receive ANY state financial aid for the entire academic year.
If you submit your FAFSA by March 1, you will be in time for all state deadlines (other than Michigan).
After filing your FAFSA by the Oregon state deadline, you may also be required to fill out additional forms, or submit additional information, which is why it is important for you to contact the Oregon State Higher Education Agency to make sure you have all your bases covered.
