Oklahoma's Promise
Oklahoma’s Promise, formerly known as the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program (OHLAP), is state funded. It allows students, from families whose annual income is $55,000 or less, to earn a scholarship to an Oklahoma public college or university or it can be used to pay for a portion of tuition at eligible private colleges in Oklahoma. The program was created in 1992 by the state legislature to help more Oklahoma families send their children to college
To be eligible students must:
- be a resident of Oklahoma,
- make commitment to the program as an 8th, 9th or 10th grader,
- complete the courses required for admission to any Oklahoma college or university plus 1 unit (these courses must include 2 units of foreign language or technology, and 1 unit of fine arts),
- graduate with a 2.5 grade point average within the previous three years and
- have a family income of $55,000 or less
