OSAC Announces Changes to the Oregon 2009-10 Scholarship Application Process

The Oregon Student Assistance Commission (OSAC) disbursed nearly $16 million in scholarships and grants for the 2007-08 academic year to Oregon graduating high school seniors, college students, older adults returning to school, part-time students, and individuals with specific training needs.  8,000 students submitted competitive applications.  As the program continues to grow with nearly 400 scholarship listings and 92% of applicants filing online, OSAC changed the 2009-10 Scholarship publication from an application to the EApp Workbook.  The new publication provides an easy way to search for scholarships, a worksheet to help students prepare their information, and more online tools. Learn more about the Workbook and the changes to the application process at OSAC's website: www.GetCollegeFunds.org or by calling (800) 452-8807. And remember, OSAC offers an Early Bird application deadline of Monday, February 16 and a final deadline of Monday, March 2, 2009.
