Apply for Financial Aid

How do I apply?

Application is free, but processing time could take three months and additional paperwork may be required.

• New students or students who have not attended OC in over a year should complete an admissions application for the Admission's Office and provide official copies of the appropriate academic transcripts. 
• A Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the renewal FAFSA is also needed for federal and state aid. Forms are available from high school counselors, Student Financial Services or from www.fafsa.ed.gov.
• After submitting your FAFSA, the Department of Education could select your application for a process called verification. If you have been selected for verification, additional forms will be required.
