Financial Aid Print E-mail
Oregon Career & Technology Center believes that education is a continuous process everyone should participate in. In view of this commitment, our efforts to obtain funds to assist those economically disadvantaged students are paramount and on-going. Our Financial Aid offerings include:

Federal PELL Grants

Eligibility is based on need and Expected Family Contribution. Eligible students cannot be defaulted on a previous educational loan.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) starts the financial aid process. The Department of Education uses the data on the FAFSA form you submit to determine need and eligibility.

Go to http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ to complete the free application.

* It is suggested to obtain a PIN number, as this will expedite the process.

Lucas County Department of Job & Family Services
