ORSAA

The Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA) is an alternative to the FAFSA for undocumented Oregon students including students who have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status or Temporary Protected Status (TPS). By filing the ORSAA, eligible undocumented and DACA students in Oregon can get help paying for college through grants, scholarships, and tuition reduction.

ORSAA Application

The 2024-25 ORSAA will open sometime in January 2024. When available, CGCC will provide a link. Eligible students should complete the ORSAA as soon as possible after the application opens each year. Applying early ensures that students can access the most financial aid opportunities available to them. After the 2024-25 cycle, the opening schedule will return to October 1. For additional information, including eligibility, check Oregon Student Aid's website.
