Oklahoma's Promise

Oklahoma's Promise is an early-commitment tuition scholarship. Students sign up in grades eight through twelve, before high school graduation, when their parents' adjusted gross income is no more than $60,000 with one or two children, $70,000 with three or four, or $80,000 with five or more. In high school they complete a 15-unit college-preparatory curriculum, earn at least a 2.50 GPA both overall and in those courses, and meet conduct expectations. Home school students and graduates of unaccredited schools need an ACT of 22 or an equivalent score. In college, the scholarship pays tuition at Oklahoma colleges, universities and technology centers, with the amount depending on the school. Family income must stay at or below $100,000 each year, checked through the FAFSA. Students must start within three years of graduation, meet regular admission standards, maintain satisfactory progress and can receive awards for up to five years or 129 credit hours. Special income rules apply to some teacher families and adopted students.
