OSAC Scholarship Application Opening Soon
Offered by Oregon Office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC)
About This Scholarship
The OSAC Scholarship Application is Oregon's signature one-stop scholarship system, run by the state's Office of Student Access and Completion. With a single online application, Oregon students are matched against more than 600 individual scholarships, and OSAC awards more than $10 million in scholarship money every year. It is the single highest-leverage application an Oregon student can complete, covering privately funded scholarships from donors, foundations, and employers across the state.
The application is open to current and future Oregon students at every stage — graduating high school seniors, current college undergraduates, graduate students, and adults returning to school. Individual scholarships carry their own criteria, from county of residence to field of study to financial need, and the system automatically surfaces the awards each student is eligible for.
Students apply through the OSAC Student Portal at app.oregonstudentaid.gov. The application typically requires personal statements and transcript information, and there is no fee to apply. The next (2027-28) application opens November 1, 2026.
