One of the best things you can do to get financial assistance is to apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Student Financial Aid (FAFSA). This is the first step to all financial aid help from the University of Oregon and the U.S. government. If you need help with this process, contact the Office of Student Services at 346-6103 for assistance.
Once you have applied for funding using the FAFSA, you should explore the internet to educate yourself about other ways of getting money (scholarships, jobs, etc.). Here are some links to help you:
