You can search the entire catalog HERE: https://app.oregonstudentaid.gov/Catalog/Default.aspx

====>BUT WAIT! I just did a bunch of that work for you. See below for a list of every OSAC scholarship I could find that might apply to Stayton students.

This is the list of the OSAC scholarships SHS/Options Academy students are MOST likely to be eligible for. There are possibly a few others, but many of the scholarships NOT listed are for students already in college, or who attend a specific school. I listed details where applicable. If there are not details, it is general and based on GPA, etc. I've gone through and checked that each of these are correct for this year.

The number at the front is the OSAC scholarship number. You can use that number to find more details on each scholarship here:
