SCHOOL DISTRICT
• Mid-Del
Promises Kept in District 95
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.
BY THE NUMBERS
In Your District
• In 2012, 164 students from Mid-Del Public Schools qualified for the
