Clackamas Community College invites students and their families to attend the CCC Financial Aid and Scholarship Application Night on April 10, 5-7 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.

CCC’s financial aid and scholarship team will guide attendees and ensure they have the support they need to complete these essential applications. 

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.

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 22.

What to expect:

• Assistance with FAFSA and ORSAA applications.
• Guidance on how to apply for CCC scholarships.
• Information about financial aid options, deadlines and requirements.
