I’m planning to attend college out of state for a year and then return to Oklahoma. Can I still get Oklahomas Promise?
Yes. Though you cannot receive the Oklahoma’s Promise award for courses taken at an out-of-state college, you can receive the award if you later return to Oklahoma for college. However, your five years of eligibility will begin with your first semester of postsecondary education whether you receive Oklahoma’s Promise or not. For example, if you start at an out-of-state university the fall semester following high school graduation, your five years begins then. If you stay there for a year and come back to Oklahoma the next fall, you will have until you receive your bachelor’s degree or four years left of Oklahoma’s Promise. If all of your out-of-state credits transfer back to your Oklahoma college, you should still have plenty of time to earn your degree. When you transfer back to Oklahoma, you will need to notify the financial aid or scholarship office at the college you plan to attend that you are an Oklahoma’s Promise student, and send a copy of your transcript to the Oklahoma’s Prom
