FAFSA/ORSAA Challenge
Set a goal to increase your school’s FAFSA/ORSAA completion rates by at least 5% and host completion events to help students and families fill out financial aid forms.
Why should my school participate?
Research shows that when students apply for financial aid, they’re more likely to enroll in college.
From October 1 to June 1, the FAFSA/ORSAA Challenge is Oregon’s official campaign to increase the number of students who submit their financial aid applications.
Participating schools get:
- Combined FAFSA/ORSAA completion rates
- Free bilingual posters to encourage FAFSA/ORSAA completion and track progress
- Technical assistance and monthly newsletters with planning resources
Help us reach our goal.
