Senior FAFSA Graduation Requirement:
Parents of Okeene High School seniors, please be aware that Oklahoma law (70 O.S. § 1210.508-6) requires public high school seniors to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or complete an approved FAFSA Opt-Out Form before graduating.

The FAFSA helps determine eligibility for federal and state financial aid, scholarships, grants, and work-study opportunities (True for college scholarships and career tech financial aid). Parents and students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA as soon as possible and work with the Okeene High School counselor if they need assistance. Students who choose not to complete the FAFSA may satisfy the graduation requirement by submitting the appropriate opt-out form, as provided by Oklahoma law.
