OSAC Web Site Has Changed

To view the OSAC Update: http://www.oregonstudentaid.gov/scholarship-doc/OSAC-App-Update-2012-13.pdf

Please be sure to look it over as there are several changes we’ll need to point out to the students; These include the website changing to www.OregonStudentAid.gov (instead of GetCollegeFunds.org, which by the way is supposed to redirect to the new site.)

Paper OSAC applications are NO LONGER AVAILABLE. The good news is that the online application is already up and running NOW and JUNIORS can even begin their 2013-2014 application NOW!

2011-2012 Oregon Opportunity Grant
