From Education Update, Oregon Depart- ment of Education, December 2014 Students planning to attend college next year and who are wondering how to pay for their education can apply for a scholarship administered by the Oregon Office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC). OSAC administers private scholar- ship programs that cover a range of stu- dent characteristics and interests, such as high school attended, residency, college major, career choice and more. Funding for these scholarships comes from individuals, employers, membership organizations, professional associations and foundations, such as the Oregon Com- munity Foundation and the Ford Family Foundation. Oregon students also are encouraged to complete and submit the Free Applica- tion for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by Jan. 31. This determines eligibility for federal and state financial aid, including the Oregon Opportunity Grant, the state’s need-based student aid program. The deadline to submit the OSAC online scholarship application is March 1, 2015.
