Financial Aid & Scholarships

Our goals are to assist future and current students with all aspects of the financial aid process, and to help make a Pacific University education as affordable as possible by offering a variety of academic and competitive scholarships, need-based grants, employment opportunities and loans to eligible students.

The financial aid office is open from 9am to 5pm, Monday through Friday, with the exception of Wednesday. We open at 11am on Wednesday due to our weekly staff meeting. 

Apply for Aid: All students interested in receiving federal financial aid need to fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). The FAFSA for the 2024-25 and 2023-24 school year is available here.

Oregon residents who are ineligibile to file a FAFSA can complete the Oregon Student Aid Application to be considered for state and institutional aid at Pacific University.

Access your Financial Aid: Individualized financial aid information is available through BoxerOnline Financial Aid Self Service.

If you are having difficulties accessing your student account for the first time, use this link for assistance.

Learn about Federal Aid: More information about the FAFSA and federal aid is available at studentaid.gov.

Find Emergency Aid:  Please complete an application for the Student Emergency Fund if you are in financial need due to an emergency.

Use the Financial Aid Secure Document Upload to securely upload financial aid documents (e.g. IRS Tax Returns, W-2 Statements, Verification Worksheets, etc.) requested by the Pacific University Financial Aid Office, or to provide the financial aid office with additional information.
