academic year.
Requirements: All current foster and former foster youth who have
spent at least 365 days in substitute care after age 16, AND either left
foster care (had wardship terminated) or completed high schoolGED
within the previous three years qualify for this program.
Application process: Students "must submit their FAFSA (www.
fafsa.gov) as soon as possible! DHS and ICW will send a list of eligible
students to the Oregon Student Access Commission for prioritization
of an Oregon Opportunity Grant.
The school of attendance will be notified of eligible students attending
their institution and notify the student of the tuition waiver amount.
There is no separate application or steps for students to apply other
