SB 1045 Oregon Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to Oregon Promise program eligibility for career school students.

This bill expands Oregon's Oregon Promise grant program to include students enrolled at career schools licensed in Oregon. Previously, the program only covered community college courses, but this amendment explicitly adds "career school" to the list of eligible institutions under ORS 341.522. It directly affects students at licensed career schools pursuing certificate or training programs, allowing them to access state-funded grants for qualifying courses. The bill does not change other eligibility requirements like residency, academic performance, or credit hour limits.
