What is College Goal Oregon?

College Goal Oregon is a FREE event designed to help Oregon college-bound students and their families with the financial aid application process. Everyone is invited to attend this event, whether they are high school or non-traditional returning students. Financial aid professionals will be on hand to help attendees complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Oregon Student Access Commission (OSAC) scholarship application.

Who should attend College Goal Oregon?

Anybody who needs financial aid for postsecondary education should attend College Goal Oregon. Even though many of the sites are community colleges, you do not need to be attending (or planning on attending) that college to get help.

What documents should I bring with me to the College Goal Oregon event?

• Yourself and a parent if possible
• Most recent completed federal tax return. If you haven’t filled out your taxes yet, estimate. You can send in exact numbers later.
