FAFSA: Free Application for Federal Student Aid
Seniors: Be sure to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) if you are a US Citizen, Permanent "Green Card" Resident, or other eligible non-citizen; or the ORSAA (Oregon Student Aid Application), if you are an undocumented (including DACA) student applying for financial aid at any Oregon college. If you are an undocumented student applying to a college outside of Oregon, consult the financial aid office of the school(s) you are applying to for guidance. Fill out one of these applications on October 1st, or as soon after as possible. These applications drive more than 95% of all financial aid and scholarships.
