Tell Congress: Protect Federal Funding for Oregon’s Community Colleges and Students
Oregon’s 17 community colleges serve over 200,000 students each year—from Portland to Pendleton, rural to urban, first-generation to adult learners. These students and institutions rely on federal funding to keep tuition affordable, grow job-training programs, and support student success.
Congress is working on a major budget reconciliation package and Fiscal Year 2026 funding bills that will determine the future of higher education funding. In light of recent executive orders, potential cuts to key funding and programs, and the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, now is the time to remind them that federal investments are critical to access, affordability, and workforce development in Oregon.
