Undergraduate On-Campus
Grants
Federal grants do not need to be paid back. Most federal and state grants are based on your level of financial need determined by the results of your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Multnomah-controlled grants will be reduced if students’ total gift aid from all sources exceeds the financial aid budget for tuition, fees, room, board, books, and supplies. If you have any questions about this policy and how it could impact your financial aid, please contact your financial aid counselor.
