Grade A Requirements (Without the A+ Tears)
First things first, you gotta be an Oklahoma resident. Shocker, right? You also need to be enrolled in the 8th, 9th, 10th, or 11th grade at an Oklahoma high school (homeschooled wizards, we see you - you gotta be between 13 and 16). Now, for the money matters: your parents' federal adjusted gross income (that fancy tax term) can't be higher than $60,000 with 1 or 2 dependents or $70,000 with 3 or 4 dependents (those numbers climb to $80,000 with 5 or more hungry hippos... er, I mean dependents).
Super Important Note: Don't ditch class like a bad cafeteria pizza! You gotta maintain a cool 2.5 GPA overall and in the specific 17-course Oklahoma's Promise curriculum (think of it as your college prep battle plan). Staying out of trouble is also key. No one wants a rogue detention slip messing with your scholarship dreams.
Application Shenanigans (Don't worry, it's not that bad)
Think of applying for Oklahoma's Promise as your college prep warm-up. You gotta fill out the application during your 8th, 9th, 10th, or 11th-grade year (homeschooled folks, same age range applies). Get your parents to witness it, because let's be honest, everyone needs a cheerleader (and someone to blame if you mess up).
