Cost & Financial Aid

At Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology, making quality education affordable and accessible is our priority. We firmly believe that tuition should not hinder students from pursuing academic and career success. In support of that goal, we not only offer low tuition to our students but also provide extensive financial aid opportunities to help them pay for college.

We understand that each student’s situation is unique; that's why our dedicated financial aid team works diligently to guide you and your family through the process of applying for financial aid.

Emergency Aid Funding

Emergency Aid Funding is designed to support Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology (OSUIT) students who need 15 or less credit hours to graduate. The program uses funds from within the institution and does not impact a recipient’s ability to qualify for other financial aid.

Funding awards are first-come, first-serve, with the goal of helping the greatest number of eligible applicants as possible. Funding applications are accepted throughout the semester. Awarded funds are applied to a student’s Bursar account to ensure they can enroll for the following term. Emergency Aid Funds may not cover a student's entire outstanding Bursar balance.
