ASPIRE helps educate Oregon students to become career and college ready. ASPIRE offers education, resources, and mentoring opportunities for students. Student supports include 1:1 and group mentoring, activities or events that focus on career exploration, career and college research, admissions applications, scholarships, and financial aid. ASPIRE is open to all students, especially those who may not consider education or training beyond high school an option. Download the "Join ASPIRE" image.

  • Providing ASPIRE sites with personalized support, and career and college planning materials/resources.
    • Training and assistance for new ASPIRE coordinators (think of ASPIRE as a Professional Learning Community)
    • Financial aid completion help (FAFSA Plus+, presentations and resources to help increase your completion rates, etc.)
    • ASPIRE Mentor program support
    • Webinars

Whether you are considering ASPIRE for your middle school, high school, or community-based organizations, ASPIRE can help you build a career and college going culture.
