The Full Picture in Oregon

Oregon has no state voucher, ESA, or tax credit. All aid is school-based or from private organizations. Portland-area independent schools (Catlin Gabel, Oregon Episcopal) have the strongest aid programs. Catholic Archdiocese of Portland provides tuition assistance at its schools. Outside Portland, options narrow quickly — Eugene, Bend, and Salem have a handful of private schools each with limited aid budgets.
