FYI: The true cost for a public university in Oregon to educate a college student is around $30k / year / student.

In general, any dollar not provided by the state legislature needs to be aquired through external scholarships/gifts, federal grants, or (sadly) out-of-pocket tuition + fees.

Without greater state support, the gap must be closed by tuition and student debt, or donations from people like you.
