Oregon Department of Education — School Facilities · Shared Oregon or institution-specific route
Matching capital funding for school districts that pass local general obligation bonds.
Confirm current availability: Posted commitment results do not establish that a new application window is open.
How to apply: start, prepare, submit and follow up
Amount or support
Award depends on program and current funding.
Start here: Review the current priority list, funding formula and election funding cycle.
1. Is this for me?
Districts must meet OSCIM requirements, including required facility planning documents and a qualifying local bond; priority and first-in-time allocation rules apply.
Service area: Oregon; confirm program-specific location and institution requirements.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.
- Review the current priority list, funding formula and election funding cycle.
- Prepare and submit the Facilities Assessment and Long-Range Facility Plan before the OSCIM application.
- Use the official Grant Application link and confirm submission instructions with ODE.SchoolFacilities@ode.oregon.gov.
- Track pre-election commitments and the bond result; follow ODE’s instructions if selected.
Timing: Application dates depend on the election/funding cycle; confirm the next intake with ODE.
4. What will it cost?
Details to confirm with the provider
A program-specific cost explanation has not been verified. Ask the provider whether this route has any fees, required contribution or repayment terms, and what cost assistance is available.
5. What happens after I submit?
Details to confirm with the provider
Keep a copy of what you send and its confirmation or receipt. Ask the receiving office how to track it, when to expect a response and how it will request missing information. These follow-up details have not been separately verified for this route.
6. What if something goes wrong?
Details to confirm with the provider
Read any returned filing, correction request or denial notice promptly. Ask the responsible office for the correction, review or appeal instructions and the deadline that applies to your notice. This guide does not verify a route-specific appeal process.
Language, disability and offline help
Ask the receiving office about language assistance, disability accommodations and an alternative to online submission. Available options have not been separately verified for this route.
Institutional district funding, not an individual student benefit. Matching funds depend on bond passage, allocation and program approval.
