About Oklahoma’s Scholarship
Oklahoma’s Promise (OKL) is a program set up by the Oklahoma Legislature to assist students to pay for their college education if their parents’ income from taxed and untaxed sources is $55,000 or less at the time the student applies for the program. Students must apply during their eighth-, ninth- or 10th-grade year (homeschool students must be age 13, 14 or 15).
Oklahoma’s Promise is also subject to a second income limit and must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
The information from the FAFSA will be used to determine whether or not the federal adjusted gross income (AGI) of the student’s parents exceeds $100,000 at the time the student begins post-secondary education (the income limit will apply to the student’s income if the student is officially determined to be financially independent of his or her parents).
Beginning in 2024, the second income limit will be applied EACH year to ALL OK Promise students enrolled in postsecondary education (college), not just entering freshmen.
For any year that the income reported on the student’s current FAFSA exceeds $100,000, the student will not be eligible to receive the OK Promise benefit. Any year that the student does not receive the award because their income exceeds the income limit will count toward the five-year period of scholarship eligibility.
