Administered by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission, ASPIRE (Access to Student assistance Programs In Reach of Everyone) seeks to provide Oregon high school students solid pathways beyond high school. ASPIRE matches trained community volunteers with high school students to provide one-on-one mentoring. ASPIRE Advisers guide students through the process of applying for college, financial aid, and scholarships.
ASPIRE serves students by:
• Helping high schools build a sustainable community of volunteer advisers
• Educating students and families about the scholarship application process and other options for paying for post-secondary education
