Description
The Oregon Opportunity Grant (OOG), administered by the Office of Student Access and Completion (OSAC), is Oregon’s largest state-funded, need-based college grant program. It supports more than 30,000 Oregon residents each year, including students of all ages pursuing their first associate or bachelor’s degree at participating public and private institutions.
The program helps meet the difference between college attendance costs and students’ available financial resources, including federal aid. Awards prioritize students with the greatest financial need and are made first-come, first-served until funds are exhausted. Funding supports undergraduate education rather than research projects. OSAC coordinates with college financial aid offices, which receive funds and credit eligible students’ accounts each academic term.
