Am I Oklahoma's Chosen One? A Totally Not Serious Guide to Oklahoma's Promise Eligibility
Hey there, future college graduate (or at least that's the dream, right?) Wondering if you're the lucky ducky chosen for the amazing Oklahoma's Promise scholarship? Well, fret no more! This guide will cut through the red tape faster than you can say "free tuition!" (Almost as fast, anyway).
The Signs You're Oklahoma's Promise Material (Besides Being Super Awesome)
- You hail from the great state of Oklahoma: This one's kind of a prerequisite. Unless you have a superhero ability to teleport yourself across state lines in a flash (and if you do, hit me up, I need a ride!), gotta be an Oklahoma resident.
- Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, or Eleventh Grade? Welcome aboard! You can sign up for the program during these glorious high school years. Sorry, kindergartners, you've got some waitin' to do.
- Family Finances Got You Saying "Whoa Now"?: Here's the good news! Your parents' federal adjusted gross income (fancy talk for their taxable income) needs to be under $60,000 for 1-2 dependents, $70,000 for 3-4 dependents, or $80,000 for 5+ dependents. Basically, if you're juggling textbooks and a part-time job to help out, this scholarship might be your BFF.
