2013 Sen. Wayne Shaw ‘‘ ‘‘ Oklahoma’s Promise is recognized by many as America’s best college access program and considered a model that combines emphasis on academic preparation and financial support for college. DISTRICT COUNTIES • Adair • Mayes • Cherokee • Rogers • Delaware Promises Kept in District 3 Recognized by many as America’s best college access program and considered a model that combines emphasis on academic preparation and financial support for college, Oklahoma’s Promise has been providing Oklahoma students the opportunity to earn college tuition scholarships for 20 years. Oklahoma’s Promise, originally designated as the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program, was created in 1992 by the Legislature to help more Oklahoma families send their children to college. Its goal is to prepare students academically for college and to provide them financial assistance. Since inception, more than 50,000 students have received the scholarship. In 2007, the Legislature approved a significant change to funding for Oklahoma’s Promise. Beginning in 2008-09, the scholarship program had a permanent, dedicated funding source from the state’s general revenue fund. This means the program will be fully funded each year from a stable source of revenue.
