CCC hosts Financial Aid and Scholarship Workshop

Clackamas Community College invites students and their families to attend the CCC Financial Aid and Scholarship Application Workshop on April 9, 4:30-6:30 p.m., at the college's Oregon City campus in the Wacheno Welcome Center. This event 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 the CCC scholarship application.

The FAFSA determines students' eligibility for federal grants, loans and work-study programs. The ORSAA provides access to state-based financial aid for students who are not eligible to complete the FAFSA. Submitting one of these applications also helps students qualify for programs such as the Oregon Promise, which helps many recent high school graduates attend community college with little tuition cost.

CCC's financial aid and scholarship team will guide attendees and ensure they have the support they need to complete these essential applications. Completing the FAFSA or ORSAA is the first step to unlocking financial support that can make college more affordable, including grants that do not need to be repaid.

Why attend?

• Expert assistance: Financial aid staff will be available to provide personalized support.
• Scholarship opportunities: Learn more about applying for CCC Foundation scholarships. The average scholarship is more than $2,000, and one in three applicants receives a scholarship. The deadline to apply is April 15.

Space is limited. Register for the event. For questions, email [email protected] or call 503-594-6082.
