Parent Forms
In some cases, we must verify the accuracy of the information submitted on the FAFSA or as a part of the scholarship process. We may ask parents to complete a form to help in that process.

Applications received after February 1 may not be considered for all scholarship programs and will be considered only if funds remain. Make sure you have sent a new transcript from your high school showing your Fall grades. Keep an eye on your my.okstate.edu for updates.

Some scholarships and financial aid must be accepted by June 1 or they may be cancelled. It's also important for incoming freshmen to register for housing and orientation & enrollment.

Once this date has passed we will no longer make scholarship offers to entering students. Be sure to make an official request to the provider of your transcript and/or test scores to have the information sent to us by August 18.

The absolute scholarship deadline for entering OSU in the Spring is the Friday before the semester begins, which is January 13, 2023. All information must have been postmarked prior to this date as well. See the academic calendar here.
