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 House of Representatives passed SB93 on April 26, 2023 by a vote of 69 to 28. 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.
