Financial Aid

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) helps eligible students obtain financial aid for two- or four-year college, technical school, or career training programs, and it is open now! Funding is awarded on a first come, first served basis, so students should submit their application as soon as possible. Seniors must complete the FAFSA (or an opt-out form) by the Friday before spring break to participate in senior activities.

We understand that some families may have questions or concerns about how your family’s information might be used or shared. Please know that Tulsa Public Schools is doing all we can to support and protect you and your family. Completing the FAFSA or the opt-out form is necessary simply to fulfill the graduation requirement.

Oklahoma's Promise

Oklahoma's Promise offers qualified Oklahoma students an opportunity to earn a scholarship for college tuition. By committing to stay on track academically and meeting simple eligibility requirements, students can earn a scholarship that covers tuition at any Oklahoma public college or university; a portion of tuition at a public career technology center; or a portion of tuition at accredited private Oklahoma colleges or universities. Participating in this program reduces the financial burden on families while encouraging students to focus on their education and career goals.

Tulsa Public Schools wants to ensure every option is available to students as they plan for their future. In order to be certain that Oklahoma’s Promise scholarship dollars are available to as many students as possible, completion of the application or a non-participation form is a requirement for 8th grade students moving into high school. In order for students to receive their class schedule for 9th grade in August, they must have completed the Oklahoma’s Promise application or a non-participation form. You can find more information about Oklahoma’s Promise and begin your application at www.okpromise.org.
