Now is the time to support Oregon youth in planning for life after high school.  There are incredible opportunities for postsecondary education and training and funds to support our youth to ensure that all of Oregon’s students have the opportunity to attend college, if that is their path.  

The Office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC) is hosting a series of virtual webinars and one-on-one application assistance. Below you will find a variety of topics geared towards current high school seniors or current/new college students. These virtual events are usually focused on a specific topic of interest like: FAFSA/ORSAA Line-by Line, Finding Funds and Scholarships, Oregon Promise Grant, and even FAFSA/ORSAA 1:1 Drop-In Sessions.

Please feel free to share with students or colleagues who may benefit from these virtual webinars. If you can’t make it to one of the webinars you can find recordings of them on the OSAC YouTube page. Additionally, they have a variety of webinars for practitioners who may find themselves assisting students with their financial planning for higher education. All webinars are free and open to the public.
