OKLAHOMA'S BEST KEPT SECRET THAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT!!!

The Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant Program (OTAG)

OTAG receives application data from the federal student aid system. As long as the student indicates on their FAFSA that they are from Oklahoma, and they include at least one eligible Oklahoma College in their school choices on their FAFSA, they will automatically have applied for OTAG award consideration. How early students complete their FAFSA can make the difference in receiving an award or not -- we recommend submitting the FAFSA as early as possible after January, and this can be done on line at www.fafsa.ed.gov http://www.fafsa.ed.gov. 

OTAG awards are available to Oklahoma residents who are undergraduates attending eligible Oklahoma colleges, universities, and public career technology institutions (list of OTAG eligible schools can be found at <http://www.okhighered.org/student-center/financial-aid/otag.shtml>). The maximum annual award you can receive for attendance at a public institution is $1,000 or $1300 if you attend a private non-profit institution. Awards are available for both full-time and part-time enrollments. If you are awarded OTAG, your college financial aid award letter will reflect an award from OTAG.
