CCC Financial Aid and Scholarship Night
This event is designed to help students navigate the financial aid process, including the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), ORSAA (Oregon Student Aid Application) and the CCC scholarship application.
CCC’s financial aid and scholarship team will guide attendees and ensure they have the support they need to complete these essential applications.
What are FAFSA and ORSAA?The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which determines students' eligibility for federal grants, loans and work-study programs. Completing the FAFSA is essential for students who want to access financial aid to help cover college expenses.
The ORSAA is the Oregon Student Aid Application, designed for Oregon students who are not eligible for federal financial aid through the FAFSA, including undocumented and DACA students. ORSAA provides access to state-based financial aid and scholarships.
