Blackman Family

Description

The Blackman Family Scholarship supports students who are graduates of Portland Public High Schools, North Clackamas High School, David Douglas High School, or schools within the Centennial School District. It also includes high school and two-year college graduates from Clackamas, Damascus, Gresham, Happy Valley, Johnson City, Milwaukie, or Portland. Applicants must have a GPA between 2.0 and 4.0, be first-generation college students, and enroll at least half time at any two- or four-year public or private college in the United States. Preference is given to first-generation immigrants and those with a demonstrated history of service or activity participation. Financial need is considered, and FAFSA or ORSAA filing is required. Non-Oregon residents who do not list an Oregon institution on the FAFSA must upload pages 1 and 2 of their FAFSA Submission Summary. Prior recipients may reapply annually. February 15 is the early bird deadline and March 1 is the final deadline for all applications and materials to be submitted to OSAC. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Oregon Office of Student Access and Completion for more information.
