New law mandates graduating seniors apply to FAFSA or opt out  

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — There's a new law in Oklahoma that requires high school graduates at public high schools to submit a free FAFSA application and learn about federal funding for college.

While there is an option to opt out, students must file one or the other before graduating.

"I could see how hard students in Oklahoma were working to get qualified to go to college and to get accepted to college. But a lot of times their families didn't know how to pay for it," said Senator Mary Boren (D-Norman).
