SB93 requires students to complete and submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in order to graduate from a public high school.
The Oklahoma State Senate passed SB93 on March 9, 2023 by a vote of 37 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because requiring mandatory completion of the FAFSA infringes on individuals’ autonomy and personal financial choices. This bill establishes an overreaching precedent where the state dictates personal decisions and forces citizens to engage in a federal financial aid process, potentially compromising their privacy and freedom of choice.
