<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>As most of you know,
the Oklahoma's Promise office is in the process of evaluating transcripts
for the 2009 HS graduating OKPromise students. We use the 8-semester
transcript, and many have been received but there are still transcripts arriving
every day. I know you are anxious to see if your students are
eligibile. Please know that we are working as quickly as we can to get
this information available to you.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the past, the
first Eligibility List was not available until July 1st because of the
technology we were using. However, with the new technology this year we
are able to post the eligible students to the electronic list as soon as the
transcript is evaluated and loaded into the system. I've listed a few
notes below that should be helpful.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. There are
two lists currently available: </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
a. 2008-09 Eligibility - use for determining summer 2009 eligibility (2009
HS grads are NOT eligible for summer term tuition)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
class=777105815-22062009>
<FONT face=Arial size=2>b. 2009-10 Eligibility - use for determining
eligibility beginning fall 2009. The 2009 HS grads will be included in
this listing as soon as and if they are determined eligible. Please note
the expiration date on the older students for your records. Some of these
students' eligibility may expire as soon as 12/31/09.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN
class=777105815-22062009>
<FONT face=Arial size=2>c. The Potential Eligibility (2009
seniors) has been taken down to avoid confusion. The students who are
eligible will gradually show up on the 2009-10 Eligibility
List.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. If you have
a student who says that he has received his award letter sometime this
summer, you should be able to find him on the eligibility list. (If
you cannot, there is a possibility that there is a problem with his
SSN.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. If the
result of the search comes back with "Eligible, no expiration date, Last Name" -
this student is eligible, we just don't have an expiration date recorded
yet. This will show up after a disbursement is made.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. A student
showing up as Not Eligible, at this point, could mean that they have not been
processed yet. As we get further into the summer a Not Eligible will
indicate a non-qualifier.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=777105815-22062009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Feel free to refer
students to the FAQ for HS Seniors on our website at <A
href="http://www.okpromise.org">www.okpromise.org</A>. It explains the
evaluation process and should help them to understand. We also have a link
on our homepage to a list of high schools who have submitted the final
paperwork. Students can check this list to see if their high school is
there or not.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
