[is to ¡students in need of financial aid.

MMlines and Tips for 08-09
“It’s a scholarship program, so everyone
can apply. It’s for Oregon residents, and
it’s for any post-high-school education,” he
added.
The deadline is March 1, 2008.
Students should apply for OSAC “because
it helps make college affordable,” Coxon
said.
In a breakout session, Clackamas
Scholarship Coordinator Darcie Iven dis
cussed scholarships that are offered through
Clackamas.
The college has $500,000 in scholarships
a year, and ones for engineers are still avail
able.
Students can submit the Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) starting
Jan. 1, 2008 for the next school year.
In addition, there are three scholarships
offered to individuals transferring to a
four-year university.
Student loans are another option.
Thedford Collins, vice president of
the Educational Credit Management
Corporation, said, “ECMC is a student
loan guarantor. When students take out
loans, we work with the lenders to assure
them that the loans will be paid; that is
one part of what we do.
“The other thing we do is to provide
financial aid information to students and
parents, so they know what financial aid
is available to help the students pay for
college.”
“The student borrows money for school,
and that money has to be repaid,” he
added. “Part of what we do is work with
that student to be sure they understand
they’re responsible. We help them plan
how they repay their loan, and we encour
age them to pay their loans on time.”
