Tulsa Achieves Scholarship
Plan A: Start Here, Save Money
It’s really that simple.
It works like this: the Tulsa Achieves Scholarship provides every Tulsa County graduating high school senior (as long as they have a 2.0 GPA and are a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident) full tuition and fees. That’s your first 63-college credit hours (or three years of college, whichever comes first) taken care of. That’s an associate degree, done, and you’re halfway to your Bachelor’s degree for free.
