eApplication, go to www.getcollegefunds.org/eapp.html

At the OSAC site, you can read about OLA's program, and search the more 
than 340 scholarships OSAC manages. The scholarship application process 
is confidential, and there is no fee to apply. All OLA scholarship 
applications must be submitted to OSAC postmarked or hand-delivered no 
later than March 2, 2009.  Be sure to read the eligibility rules, and 
submit all required documents.

The OSAC office is located at 1500 Valley River Drive, Suite 100,
