OHLAP scholarship promise kept, but many
programs suffer $83 million in overall cuts to
higher education
Oklahoma’s families counting on Oklahoma Higher Learning Access
Program (OHLAP) scholarships will be receiving some good news, while other
programs and higher education institutions will face major cuts based on the
budget that was passed recently by the Oklahoma Legislature.
“Our higher education system is coping with an $83 million cut, so

commitment to OHLAP scholarships will be maintained for next year,” said
Paul Risser, chancellor of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
