Or. Admin. Code § 575-031-0022 - Definitions for the Shared Responsibility Model
(1) Cost
of Education . For purposes of calculating Oregon Opportunity Grant awards under
the Shared Responsibility Model, the standard cost of education is based on the
definition of cost of education in OAR
575-030-0005.
(a) The standard cost of education for each
institutional segment is based on the average of the standard costs for all
participating institutions within an institutional segment.
(b) For purposes of calculating Oregon
Opportunity Grant awards under the Shared Responsibility Model, the standard
cost of education for all public and private independent 4-year institutions is
the average of the standard costs for public 4-year institutions. The standard
cost of education for all public 2-year institutions is the average of the
standard costs for all institutions in that segment.
(2) "Student Share ". The student share is a
fixed amount based upon a reasonable amount of paid work and, in some cases, a
modest amount of borrowing, depending upon the type of institution the student
attends. The Commission adjusts the student share annually according to changes
in the Oregon minimum wage and what the Commission determines to be a
manageable debt burden for a student. The student's share may consist of any
combination of financial resources from the student's work, loans,
scholarships, savings, assets, or gift aid.
(a) For a student attending a public 2-year
Oregon-based postsecondary institution, the student share is based on income
from work. The Commission will annually determine the income from work amount,
based on a minimum number of hours per week at Oregon minimum wage.
(b) For a student attending a public or
not-for-profit 4-year Oregon-based postsecondary institution, the student share
is based on income from work plus a modest loan amount. The Commission will
annually determine the work component, based on a minimum number of hours per
week at Oregon minimum wage, and the loan amount.
(c) For a student enrolled for 6 to 11
credit-hours, the component of the student share represented by income from
work may be higher than for students enrolled full time. The Commission will
determine this amount annually.
(d)
"Manageable debt burden ". The Commission will annually determine a manageable
debt burden based on average entry-level salaries for public service
occupations in Oregon.
(3) "Family Share ". The family share is equal
to the student's federally calculated expected family contribution, which is
based on the financial resources (income from work and other sources, savings,
and/or assets) of the student's parents, if dependent, or the student and
spouse, if independent, as reported in the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA) or in an alternative need analysis form approved by the
Commission.
(4) "Federal Share ".
The federal share is based on how much the student or the student's family is
expected to receive from the federal government in the form of Federal Pell
Grants and assumed federal higher education tax credits, as determined by the
Commission. The federal share excludes Federal SEOG awards and other federal
grant and scholarship programs.
(5)
"State Share ". The state share is equal to the standard cost of education minus
the sum of the student share , the family share , and the federal share . The
state share is the maximum amount that a student may receive as an Oregon
Opportunity Grant. If the amount of the state share is less than the minimum
award amount, as determined by the Commission, the student will receive no
award.
