Academic Competitiveness Grant  (ACG)
This is a new federal grant, starting in the 2006-2007 academic year. It is available to first and second year students who are eligible for a Pell grant, enrolled full time, and who have completed a rigorous secondary program. Students must not have been previously enrolled in an undergraduate program. Awards may be up to $750 for the first year and $1300 for the second year. 


Federal Pell Grant
$400-$4310 per year

The Pell Grant is the principal federal grant. Like all grant funds, it is a monetary gift and does not have to be repaid. It is available to low-income, undergraduate students. When applying for the Pell Grant, the federal government will notify you of eligibility in your Student Aid Report (SAR). Pell Grant funds are available throughout the year to eligible full-time or part-time admitted students.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)
$300-$1,000 per year

Like the Pell grant, the FSEOG is a federal grant for undergraduates. Students with high financial need may receive funding from both the Pell Grant and the FSEOG. In order to qualify, the federal processor must receive your FAFSA by March 1.

National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent  (SMART)

This is a new federal grant starting in the 2006-2007 academic year. It is available to third and fourth year undergraduate students. Students must be eligible for a Pell grant, enrolled full time, and majoring in specific science, math, or foreign language programs. Awards may be up to $4000 per year. 


Oregon Opportunity Grant
Up to $1,752 per year

The Oregon Student Assistance Commission will consider undergraduate students who are Oregon residents for these awards. Oregon Grants are renewable annually, provided financial need and satisfactory progress continue. You may receive up to twelve terms of these grants. Early filing of the FAFSA is strongly advised. To be eligible for this grant, you cannot be in default or owe money on Title IV aid at any institution.
