These funds will help build a new K-14 continuum surrounding Career-Technical Education tailored to support English language learners and low-income students. These K-14 students will have a smooth path to higher education through TBCC after graduation, allowing them to earn sustainable family wages.
 
Text Support Available For Your Students



The College Place Oregon is here to help students; and we're especially happy to meet students where they are. For the past several years, we've been offering text-based support to students across Oregon. If you'd like your students to get a little "nudge" to keep them on track, please encourage them to sign up at: 

https://bit.ly/ECMCTCP

We'll make sure they get the information they need when they need it, and our support and advice is just a text message away if they have questions. It's never too early or too late to sign up!

 

Statewide Paying for College Webinars

Paying for College webinars are in October this year due to the delayed opening of the FAFSA and ORSAA. Please help us get the word out- our flyer is attached.

Thursday, October 26th at 6:30 pm (in Spanish) register at: https://bit.ly/PFCP2023

 

Participants will be able to use the Q & A function to ask anonymous personal questions, which will be answered by some of Oregon's financial aid administrators. Questions may be asked anonymously, as we want families to feel comfortable asking those hard questions!
