The OKC-GO program is designed to remove some of the financial barriers that might limit a student’s ability to succeed in college. The program is exclusive to OCCC and serves graduates from Oklahoma City and Western Heights public high schools. Eligible students can attend OCCC tuition free for up to 3 years, or 61 college credit hours. Additionally, students have access to learning labs, personal mentoring, and leadership building opportunities. Who is eligible? Students who graduate from an Oklahoma City or Western Heights public high school and start college at OCCC in the following academic year are eligible for OKC-GO. How do I apply? Students should apply to the program as early as possible in the spring semester of their senior year, but no later than July 1st. Applications are available in your high school counselor’s office and in the OCCC Office of Recruitment and Admissions. Applicants must also complete and submit a FAFSA application (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to be eligible for the program. This form is available online at www.fafsa.gov. Does OKC-GO also pay for my fees and books? No. However, many students who apply will also be eligible for other types of financial aid. By filling out and submitting the FAFSA application, the student can ensure that any additional financial aid awarded can be used to pay for fees and books. Students who find themselves unable to cover the costs of their fees and books should visit with an OCCC admissions advisor. Come Join us at OCCC!
