The Financial Aid Office is committed to providing high-quality service to all Oregon Tech students, and their families. Our office strives to provide information on a complex topic that enables students to make decisions regarding their educational funding.
The information contained in this catalog is general in nature and is not meant to serve as notification of students’ rights and responsibilities as financial aid recipients. Oregon Tech’s Financial Aid Award Guide serves that purpose. The Award Guide is available on our website at www.oit.edu/faid. Additional questions regarding the FAFSA application process should be directed to the Financial Aid Office.
All students applying for federal financial aid must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available at studentaid.gov. A federally approved needs-analysis methodology is applied consistently to information provided by all applicants. The philosophy behind financial aid is that parents and students have the primary financial responsibility for funding the student’s education.
If there are unusual financial circumstances that are not accurately reflected on the FAFSA, the student should contact the Financial Aid Office. Under certain conditions, professional judgment may be used and aid eligibility recalculated. The Financial Aid Office will always take the student’s best interest into consideration while, at the same time, upholding federal regulations.
Estimated Financial-Aid Budgets for 2024-2025 Academic Year
Financial aid budgets can include amounts for tuition and fees, books and supplies, room and board, technology, and miscellaneous expenses. Please remember that these are estimated average costs for students, and student spending habits will vary. On a very limited, case-by-case basis, the Financial Aid Office may be able to adjust a student’s budget as permitted by federal regulations.
Students with Disabilities
Under certain circumstances, a student’s aid package may be adjusted to reflect additional expenses. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you would like additional information or to schedule an appointment.
