Oregon Community Foundation manages thousands of scholarships for graduates of specific schools, current college students, graduate students, returning learners, and people seeking workforce training. The foundation reported awarding more than 3,500 scholarships totaling over $14.5 million in 2026. That figure describes the overall portfolio, not an amount available to every applicant. Many awards use the common OSAC application administered by Oregon’s state office; others are filed directly through OCF’s MyOCF portal.
For the announced cycle, OSAC opens November 2, 2026, and accepts applications through March 1, 2027. OCF says scholarships in its direct portal also have a March 1 deadline unless an individual listing states otherwise. The common application can cover more than 500 funds, but students must review each award’s rules: some depend on county, high school, major, financial need, or returning to school.
Prepare transcripts, references, and written responses before starting; the platform lets students search funds, complete forms, and upload documents, while individual opportunities may request additional materials. For OSAC portal questions, contact the state team; for OCF award decisions, use the foundation’s scholarship team. A local scholarship may support study outside Oregon if the fund’s rules allow it, so do not rule out an opportunity based on the college location before reading its listing.
Before applying, confirm the correct cohort, time zone, documents your school must submit, and whether funds are applied to tuition or other costs. Your institution’s financial-aid office can explain how the award interacts with FAFSA and outside scholarships.
Read the aid-program profile and the FAFSA guide; your institution’s financial-aid office can verify your individual case.
