Rose State College is proud to announce an opportunity for the graduates of the Class of 2012 of Carl Albert High School, Choctaw High School, Del City High School, and Midwest City High School.  As of 2012, the program is also available to private and home school graduates whose primary residence is within the officially defined borders of the aforementioned school districts. Residency will be self reported. However, if a question arises regarding the student’s residency status, documentation to support the residency of the student within the Mid-Del or Choctaw school district may be required by the Office of Financial Aid. Graduates who meet the criteria listed below will have the opportunity to receive financial assistance for tuition and mandatory fees. 

Although a state institution, Rose State College also receives local funding through the Technical Area Education District supported by the citizens of our immediate service area.  Thus, we are able to give back to our community and offer this source of financial assistance to our local graduates.  We know that with the current economic conditions, students will be seeking new funding sources in order to begin their college education.  We believe now is the time for "Your Community College" to invest in your success. 

If you meet the criteria below for the “Ticket to Rose” program, please complete the online application.  You must complete the application for admissions AND the Ticket to Rose application by May 7, 2012 to qualify for the program.  The application will be available by January 3, 2012.  If you do not qualify for this particular program, there may be other avenues of assistance available to you; and our financial aid advisors stand ready to assist you.  Take advantage of your “Ticket to Rose.”

Helpful Tips for completing the Ticket to Rose Application:
   1. First time users must “create a new account” (link below the “log in” button).
   2. The student may use their email address as a username.
   3. The student’s password must be at least 8 characters long and must contain at least three of the following:
        a. Lower case letters (i.e. a,b,c)
        b. Upper case letters (i.e. A,B,C)
        c. Numbers (i.e. 1,2,3)
        d. Alphanumeric characters or symbols (i.e. @, $, &)
   4. We suggest that the student write down their username & password to file for future use.
   5. Include an answer in each field. For example, if the student is unaware of other forms of financial assistance, he or she must type “N/A” under source, and type “0” under amount.
   6. A confirmation email will be sent after successful completion of the application. If the student does not receive a confirmation message, he or she should log back in and check the application for errors.
