Financial Aid/Ayuda Financiera

It is highly recommended that EVERY student during their senior year fills out the FAFSA or ORSAA ( alternative to the FAFSA for undocumented Oregon students ) to be eligible for financial aid ( both open up on October 1st). Many scholarships/ colleges will require you to fill one of the two forms.

Se recomienda que cada estudiante durante su último año en la high school llene la FAFSA o la ORSAA ( alternativo a la FAFSA para estudiantes indocumentados en Oregon) para ser elegible para recibir ayuda financiera. Varias becas y universidades requieren que los estudiantes llenen una de estas aplicaciones.
