Filing/Renewing your FAFSA

Free Application for Federal Student Aid

Oregon Tech recommends that all students apply for financial aid. The form is very easy to use and free. Even if you only qualify for a student loan to help fund your education, this is where you start.

Remember, you must file for financial aid annually. The 2020-2021 FAFSA opened October 1, 2020. The 2021-2022 FAFSA will open October 1, 2021. Be sure to file as soon as possible. Check out this tutorial for FAFSA help.
