Paying for college

Financial aid is available from sources other than scholarship aid. Many students who do not qualify for academic scholarships still receive financial aid in the forms of grants, loans or work opportunities. To apply for financial aid as a new student to Linfield, you must complete these steps first.

Completing your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) will help determine your expected contribution. This is your first step after being accepted to Linfield.

Cost of Attendance (COA) - Expected Family Contribution  (EFC) = Financial Need.

Types of financial aid for OCE students

Scholarships

Scholarships and grants are often called "gift aid" because they are free money – financial aid that does not have to be repaid. Scholarships are usually merit-based, while grants are often need-based.
