'Tis the Season...

...to apply for financial aid! Autumn may be the time to submit those college applications and take those SAT/ACT tests, but winter always starts with a rush of questions about financial aid.

The Oregon Student Assistance Commission has released this document that lists what students can generally expect to pay (tuition, books, residence, etc.) to attend colleges in Oregon. FAFSA (Federal Application for Free Student Aid) applications for the Autumn 2010 college-bound folks are available on the federal FAFSA site. Students can also access this amazing scholarship database, also courtesy of the OSAC, which allows them to peruse the wealth of Oregon scholarships that are available. Students can even set filters during the search to limit it to specific interests, type of student, need-based (or not), etc!

Visit the OSAC site for more general information.
