Oregon Promise begins this fall. I’m curious to see how it goes. Community colleges here are already crowded. I’m also wondering if our state is underestimating the number of middle-high income families who will take advantage of it, quickly using up the money set aside for those students. The legislators believe that the majority of Oregon Promise recipients will be low income students who will qualify for federal aid, thereby reducing the state obligation. But I’m not so sure. I know that we will be utilizing Oregon Promise for our youngest BECAUSE we don’t qualify for aid. We already have one in college so any break we can get, we will take!
