Oklahoma’s Promise

• Kelley Norris joined our staff last fall and will be transitioning to Claims Processing this summer and into next fall.

• All OKPromise students are subject to meeting SAP regardless of whether they completed a FAFSA

• DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients are not currently considered eligible per OSRHE General Counsel’s office.

Oklahoma’s Promise

• College GPA• Applies to students graduating HS in 2012 and after

• 2.0 cumulative GPA – check at the end of the semester in which the student earns his 60th credit hour

• If the student is below a 2.0, he will permanently lose the scholarship.

• Remember to notify us. Electronic spreadsheet available on the financial aid resources page. (http://www.okhighered.org/admin-fac/FinAidResources/okpromise.shtml)

Oklahoma’s Promise

Any OKPromise student with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 upon the completion of sixty (60)

earned semester credit hours shall permanently lose eligibility. Please use this form to report the

cumulative GPA at the end of the enrollment period during which the student completed their

60th earned semester credit hour.

Oklahoma’s Promise

• College GPAExample (2.0):

1. Mary graduated from high school in 2012 and attended college beginning in fall 2012. After her first year of college, Mary has 46 hours earned, including some concurrent enrollment hours taken during her senior year in high school. She enrolls in 15 hours in the fall 2013 semester. At the end of the fall semester Mary now has 61 hours earned (completed). When all postsecondary grades are included in a cumulative grade point average, Mary has a 1.89 GPA. Because her GPA is below 2.0, Mary permanently loses eligibility for the Oklahoma’s Promise award.

Oklahoma’s Promise

• College GPA (Example 2.5 GPA)2. George also graduated from high school in 2012. George’s cumulative grade point average at the end of the fall 2013 semester, in which he earns his 60th credit hour, is 2.3. George is eligible to continue receiving the Oklahoma’s Promise award, assuming he is in compliance with the institution’s satisfactory academic progress (SAP) policy. During spring 2014, George enrolls in 18 hours and then takes another 15 hours in fall 2014. George now has at least 90 hours earned and is subject to the cumulative GPA requirement of 2.5 for courses taken after the completion of 60 hours. George has a 2.4 GPA calculated on all the hours taken during the spring 2014 and fall 2014 semesters. George loses the award until his GPA on hours taken after the completion of 60 hours reaches or exceeds 2.5. 

Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant

• FAFSA receipt cutoff date March 1, 2014.(subject to change)

2013-2014 initial cutoff was March 20, 2013 and it was extended to April 7, 2013 for “spring

only” awards.

• Please let us know when you have personnel changes. Use the Authorized Institutional Representative form.

Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant

• Students that are not eligible for Pell because they have received 6 years of full-time Pell assistance will not be eligible to receive OTAG.

• Appearance on a pre-populated claim form is not confirmation that a student is an Oklahoma resident.

• Highlighted students have an out-of-state address or parents are not be residents.

• Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) does not affect OTAG eligibility.

Well Done!• We have the capability to generate useful reports and do

important research for 2012-2013.

• We are seeking your feedback before the 2013-2014 collection.
