Each year, the Office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC) in Oregon awards more than $10 million in scholarships to Oregon students. They have compiled everything into one centralized location: the OSAC Scholarship Application. We’re here to help Oregon students complete this application and increase their chances of receiving financial aid for college! 

Am I eligible to apply for OSAC scholarships?

Here are eligibility requirements for OSAC scholarships: 

• Applicants must be U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens.
• Applicants must be Oregon residents. To learn more about Oregon residency, head over to OSAC’s website.
• Applicants must be graduating high school seniors, GED recipients, first-time college freshmen, undergraduate, or graduate students during the current academic year.

Do I need to submit an essay or personal statement with my application?

Possibly. Individual scholarship programs have their own essay requirements. Make sure to review the requirements of any scholarships you're interested in to see if they require any supplemental written materials. The OSAC Scholarship Application has a 1,900 character limit for each personal statement submitted (including spaces). Any personal statements over this limit will be cut off when added to the application form.
