OSAC scholarships may only be used at U.S. institutions that are eligible to participate in Title IV federal student aid programs (U.S. military academies are not eligible).

Unless otherwise specified in the individual scholarship descriptions, you must:

• Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen in the United States for other than a temporary purpose, and intend to become a permanent resident of the United States.

• An independent student or the parents of a dependent student have continuously resided in Oregon for 12 months.
• A student is continuously enrolled (completes an academic year within any 12-month period) at an Oregon high school or postsecondary institution.
• An independent student or the parent(s) of a dependent student serving on active duty in the US Armed Forces has Oregon listed as their "home of record."
• The definition of "resident of Oregon" includes students who are enrolled members of federally recognized tribes of Oregon, or who are enrolled members of federally recognized Native American tribes which had traditional and customary tribal boundaries that included parts of the state of Oregon or which had ceded or reserved lands within the state of Oregon, regardless of their state of residence. For complete information on the tribes that are eligible for resident classification, visit our website.
• Be a graduating high school student during the current academic year, or a GED® or home-schooled graduate, or a first-time college freshman, undergraduate, or graduate student.
• Not owe a refund on an educational grant or be in default on any education loans.
