College Score Card

With more and more postsecondary options to consider, it can be tough to know where and how to best compare colleges.  The U.S. Department of Education has released its annual update of the redesigned College Scorecard – available at https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/

This site will allow visitors to sort and filter their search results to easily compare schools and decide which college makes the most sense when considering the typical costs, average student loan amount, student’s ability to repay their loans and their future earnings.

Oklahoma’s Promise

Oklahoma’s promise allows students whose families earn $55,000 or less annually, and who meet adademic and conduct requirements, to earn a college tuition scholarship.
