## About this scholarship

OTAG is Oklahoma's need-based grant for residents attending eligible colleges, universities and career technology centers in the state. It is limited to undergraduates who have not earned a first bachelor's degree, and the basic requirement is eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant in the current term. Need is measured through the Student Aid Index on the FAFSA, and students who list Oklahoma as their state of residence are considered automatically. The maximum annual award is the lesser of 75 percent of enrollment costs or a set cap: $1,500 at community colleges and technology centers, $2,000 at regional universities and $3,000 at research universities. Half is usually paid in the fall and half in the spring. OTAG typically receives more eligible applications than it can fund. State funding is set around the end of May, schools receive allocations, and each school picks recipients under its own rules, so filing the FAFSA early can decide whether an otherwise eligible student is funded.

## Who can apply

- Residents of: OK
- Education level: Undergraduate
- Must be eligible for a Pell Grant in the current term and not hold a bachelor's degree. Enrollment requirements are set by each institution. Renewal terms are not described on the page; reapply through the FAFSA each year.
