The 2011/12 deadline for the Oregon Opportunity Grant for students attending EOU and other Oregon public universities was February 1, 2011; however, the Oregon Student Assistance Commission informed all Oregon public schools that students who applied in late January did not receive the grant due to a funding shortfall.
