    About this scholarship

    Oregon Promise helps recent Oregon high school and GED graduates pay tuition at any Oregon community college. Students must apply during their senior year, or right after finishing the GED, and must have at least a 2.0 high school GPA or a 145 on every GED test. They need 12 months of Oregon residency, with parents also living in Oregon for dependent students, and no more than 90 college credits attempted. For 2026-27, full-time, full-year awards range from $2,280 to $4,716. Because demand has been high, OSAC has used Student Aid Index limits: the class of 2026 cutoff was 27,000, and any limit for the class of 2027 will be announced in spring 2027. Recipients must start at least half time, usually in the term right after graduation, excluding summer. The grant continues until the student has attempted 90 credits, counting dual credit, AP and failed courses, and it does not pay for summer. Renewal requires a new FAFSA or ORSAA each year.

    How we check listings

    Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
