CCC hosts financial aid and scholarship night

OREGON CITY - Clackamas Community College invites students and their families to attend the CCC Financial Aid and Scholarship Application Night on Oct. 10, 5-7 p.m. This in-person event will be held at the CCC Oregon City campus in the Wacheno Welcome Center and is designed to help students navigate the financial aid process, including the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), ORSAA (Oregon Student Aid Application) and scholarship applications.

Attendees will receive guidance from CCC's financial aid team, ensuring students have the support they need to complete these important applications. As a bonus, there will be a drawing for three 4-credit tuition waivers, allowing participants to earn a free class at CCC.

What are FAFSA and ORSAA?
The FAFSA is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, which determines students' eligibility for federal grants, loans and work-study programs. Completing the FAFSA is essential for students who want to access financial aid to help cover college expenses.

The ORSAA is the Oregon Student Aid Application, designed for Oregon students who are not eligible for federal financial aid through the FAFSA, including undocumented and DACA students. ORSAA provides access to state-based financial aid and scholarships.
