Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Residency limits on Oregon student grants

Students generally must live in Oregon for at least 12 months before enrolling to qualify for Oregon Opportunity Grants. The law also recognizes eligibility for students exempt from nonresident tuition under Oregon law. Students admitted to the United States to enroll in a higher-education study program do not qualify.

Student grants protected from certain cuts

The commission cannot reduce a student's grant because of money available through a covered college savings network account naming that student. When funding falls short, it can give priority based on greatest financial need or circumstances that promote equity. It cannot cut grants for students with greater need by a larger percentage than grants for students with less need. These protections do not prevent all grant cuts.

New student grant options and award rules

Beginning in the 2026–2027 academic year, Oregon sets grants using school type, enrollment level, financial need, and other appropriate factors. This replaces the method based on student, family, federal, and state shares. Commission rules determine which credit and noncredit nondegree programs qualify and how awards are calculated. Nondegree grants can be delayed until 2027–2028 if more time is needed for proper implementation or federal alignment. Persistence-award eligibility must include enrollment level; the commission must consider, but need not use, awards based on a percentage of the maximum grant.
