To be eligible for most types of financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Oregon Student Aid Application (ORSAA). These applications compile financial information and other details about students and families, which the US Department of Education and the State of Oregon use to determine financial need and eligibility for various financial aid opportunities. The 2024-25 FAFSA and ORSAA are open - apply now!

When applying, there are important changes this year for students to keep in mind.

• New for 2024-25, each contributor must enter and complete the form separately, answering only questions that are pertinent to them.
• There are a significant number of applications that have been started but cannot be completed until other contributors finish their work.

Please also note that according to the U.S. Department of Education, technical issues that prevented students whose parents lack social security numbers from submitting have been resolved.

The West Linn-Wilsonville School District uses HelpCounter for volunteer registration and sign-in to increase safety and security for all students. Interested volunteers can register to volunteer in WLWV schools by visiting the Volunteer Registration webpage. Simply select 'Start' to fill out your application, which includes a background check. The first time that volunteers sign-in to volunteer at any WLWV school they will be prompted to accept a Volunteer Agreement.

Volunteers must also re-register every three years, or when volunteering at a new school. Note that volunteer coaches register through a different process. Contact your school's athletic director or principal for more information.
