New Tuition Free Programs for Tulsa Students

Tulsa Community College (TCC) and Tulsa Technology Center (TTC) have brand new scholarship programs that offer free tuition to new high school graduates. Tulsa Achieves is TCC’s program that will pay up to 100 percent of tuition and mandatory fees for up to 60 college credit hours. Tulsa Achieves To receive a Tulsa Achieves scholarship, a student must live in Tulsa County and be graduating from a public or private high school with a 2.0 GPA or better on a 4.0 scale beginning May 2007 and beyond. Home-schooled students are also eligible with parent verification. If a student moves into Tulsa County in 10th, 11th or 12th grade, the percentage that the scholarship pays drops from 100 percent to 75 percent in 10th grade, 50 percent in 11th grade and 25 percent in 12th grade. Once enrolled, students must maintain good academic standing (minimum 2.0 GPA), enroll continuously each fall and spring, complete a FAFSA each year and provide 40 hours of community service during each academic year. For more information, go to any TCC campus, call 595-7834 or visit www.tulsacc.edu. Pathways Scholarship High school graduates may also take advantage of Tulsa Technology Center’s Pathways Scholarship beginning in 2007. Students interested in a free technical education may enroll in the scholarship, which will pay for one program, regardless of the number of hours the program requires. The longest program is aviation maintenance technology which requires 2,121 hours. Students must have graduated from a public, private or charter high school within Tulsa Tech’s school district. Home-schooled students are also eligible. Students must apply and be admitted to the program. Once enrolled, students may not switch programs, and they are required to enroll continuously.
