Oregon scholarships and state aid
These are restricted to Oregon residents specifically. It's the kind of local award that's easy to miss because it's never on the big national scholarship sites.
Most scholarships on this site have no state restriction at all, so it's worth also browsing the full list regardless of where you live. Know of a local Oregon scholarship, through a school, Rotary club, or church, that isn't listed here? Let us know.

As Oregon's largest need-based financial aid program, this pays out up to $7,800 a year (averaging around $4,200) to low-income Oregon undergrads working on their first associate or bachelor's degree, enrolled at least half-time. Awards go out first-come, first-served based on when you file your FAFSA or ORSAA and how much need you show; it's not available to theology, divinity, or religious-education majors.
