Oregon Promise Grant (OPG) Application Updates!

OPG - High School Registrars - Application Review New Feature:

Oregon Promise Grant’s (OPG) GPA Verification page within the OSAC Partner Portal now features a new "Early Grad" certification box. This certification box is to help high school registrars confirm that a non-senior student is graduating early. High School seniors who are graduating a term/semester early will not need to have this certification box selected as they must apply for the correct OPG cohort term/group based on their graduation date. This is only for students who are graduating a year or more earlier than expected. Any questions regarding this Early Grad certification box can be directed to our OPG team at OregonPromise@hecc.oregon.gov.

OPG Spring 2025-26 GED Cohort Deadline Reminder:

October 1, 2025 - February 28, 2026 GED Graduates!

The Spring 2025-26 GED Cohort deadline is approaching on March 10, 2026 at 11:59 PM for students who are October 1, 2025 to February 29, 2026 GED Graduates! These students must submit both their Oregon Promise Grant application and their 2025-26 FAFSA/ORSAA application to ensure they are fully considered for Oregon Promise Grant award Spring 2025-26 term.

Homeschool and High School October 1, 2025 - February 29, 2026 Graduates who have submitted their OPG application have until March 10th at 11:59 PM to submit their 2025-26 FAFSA/ORSAA.
