Students must take the following high school coursework to meet Oklahoma's Promise program requirements.* The Oklahoma's Promise Curriculum Worksheet (XLSX, 14k) can help students record their grades and make sure they have taken the right courses.
*For students completing the CORE HS graduation requirements, the scholarship will cover at least a portion of tuition for certain programs that meet the requirements to be eligible for federal financial aid offered at an Oklahoma public technology center. The scholarship is only available to be used at career technology centers and is not transferable to a college or university.
Homeschool students and students graduating from a high school not accredited by the Oklahoma State Board of Education must also achieve a composite score of 22 or higher on an ACT test reported on an official test report issued by ACT (including superscores). ACT on-campus (residual) test scores do not qualify.
Oklahoma’s Promise allows eighth-, ninth-, 10th- and 11th-grade students from families meeting certain income requirements to earn a college or technology center tuition scholarship. Students must also meet academic and conduct requirements in high school.
Created in 1992 by the Legislature to help more Oklahoma families send their children to college, Oklahoma’s Promise was originally designated as the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program. The program is administered by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
