SCHOLARSHIPS

Transcripts

A missing or incomplete transcript is the #1 reason for rejected applications for OSAC scholarships. Read these instructions to ensure that you are submitting what OSAC needs to process your application.

Follow these instructions carefully!

  • Transcripts must list your name, your school’s name, each course taken, grades, grade points, and credit hours.
  • OSAC does not require official transcripts. You can submit transcripts printed from your high school or college website, as long as they include your name, your school’s name, each course taken, grades, grade points, and credit hours. Do not copy and paste from the school website, it will be rejected. You may choose print from your browser menu, select Adobe PDF, and then choose print again. This will allow you to save a PDF document of the transcript, with all formatting intact. Another option is to print the page and scan it. If you are awarded a scholarship, you may be required to provide official transcripts.
  • If you attended more than one college, submit a transcript for each college, including work on prior degrees. You may submit one transcript with transfer credits for other schools, provided it includes grades and credit hours for each school and course: transfer credits alone are not enough.
  • OSAC will NOT accept the following documents as replacements for transcripts: Report Cards, Grade Reports, Degree Audits, Registration Reports, Academic Evaluations, and Transfer Articulations.
  • You are strongly encouraged to have your transcripts scanned as a single file that can be uploaded to the application, when prompted online, or transmitted by your school Registrar's office directly to OSAC through the IDTS Network or the OSAC web portal. (See information below)
    • Transcripts sent to OSAC via e-mail will NOT be accepted. You must either upload your transcript, mail/hand-deliver it, or have your school upload it. If you have to enter an OSAC e-mail address when you order your transcript from your school (e.g., “Go green” method with the University of Oregon), choose another delivery method because it will NOT be accepted.
  • READ INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO ENSURE YOU SUBMIT THE CORRECT TRANSCRIPT.

Decide what type of student you are to determine the type of transcript to submit:

If you are:

  • A Graduating High School Senior as of 2011-12
     
    1. Submit your high school transcripts showing coursework and grades through the first semester, second quarter, or first trimester (depending on your school's calendar) of your senior year. These transcripts are usually available in January or February.
  • A Home-Schooled Student from Oregon, not yet enrolled in college; submit all three of the following:
     
    1. A copy of the Confirmation of Enrollment letter on file at your local Educational Service District (ESD) (also called “Letter of Intent to home-school”). A DMV receipt or record will not suffice.
       
    2. A copy of the results of a tenth-grade standardized achievement test, required for all home-school students who have registered with their ESD.
       
    3. A transcript from your home-school teacher describing your coursework and letter grades assigned.
  • A Home-Schooled Student from outside Oregon, submit the following:
     
    1. Documentation of what your home-school state requires for a transcript from a home school.
       
    2. A copy of all the documents that are required by your home-school state.
  • GED Student
     
    1. If you received a General Education Development (GED) certificate and have never attended college, submit your Transcript of GED record.
       
    2. If you have not completed your GED requirements by the time you submit your application, submit your most recent score report and a letter explaining when you plan to complete your requirements.
  • A High School Graduate with No College Coursework (graduated before  2011-12)
  • An Adult Student with No College Coursework (never graduated from high school, no GED, not home-schooled)
     
    1. Submit your high school transcripts showing complete high school career coursework and grades.
  • College Students, Freshman (completed one semester or term of college coursework at the time of application)
  • College Students, Continuing or Returning (will not have completed a bachelor’s degree prior to 2012-13)
  • College Graduate Student
     
    1. Submit transcripts of all college coursework taken between August 2001 and through fall quarter/semester 2011. For college freshmen (as defined above), a high school transcript is optional, but recommended as part of the selection process.
       
    2. You may also submit pre-2001 transcripts that document academic achievement, whether from a college or your high school.
       
    3. If you attended more than one college, submit a transcript for each college, including work on prior degrees. You may submit one transcript with transfer credits for other schools, provided it includes grades for each school and each course; transfer credits alone are not enough.
       
    4. If all your college coursework is completed before August 2001, you must submit either those college transcripts or your high school transcripts.
