Important Clarification Regarding Aspire Tuition Waiver Eligibility and Program

We are aware of recent social media posts circulating incorrect information regarding the Aspire Tuition Waiver. To ensure accurate understanding, we would like to clarify the following key points:

Oklahoma Residency Requirement: To qualify for the Aspire Tuition Waiver, applicants must be residents of the state of Oklahoma. Non-residents are not eligible for this funding.

Enrollment Is Not Guaranteed: Participation in the Aspire Tuition Waiver program is subject to meeting all eligibility criteria. Immediate or automatic enrollment is not guaranteed.

Mandatory In-Person Attendance: Students enrolled in Flex-Health/Fast-Track courses, such as Phlebotomy, Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Tech, EKG Tech, CNA, and similar programs, are required to attend weekly in-person class hours. Limited online opportunities may be available; however, remote or online participation does not substitute for scheduled in-person attendance.

We encourage all prospective students to verify program information through official sources to avoid misinformation and ensure a clear understanding of eligibility and requirements.
