Seven Seminole State College students attended Oklahoma Promise Day at the State Capitol on Feb. 20. Students had the opportunity to meet with legislators and state regents to discuss the scholarship program.
Since its inception in 1992, the Oklahoma’s Promise scholarship program has awarded college tuition scholarships to more than 100,000 students. To be eligible, students must apply during the eighth, ninth, tenth or 11th grade, and their family’s annual income must not exceed $60,000 when they apply. A student’s family income also must not exceed $100,000 each year the student is enrolled in college. Students must also meet academic and personal conduct requirements in high school.
