Recently, Oklahoma overturned Okla. Stat. tit. 70 § 3242, placing new barriers on undocumented students striving for higher education. Following a federal court ruling, the state can no longer authorize non-resident tuition waivers or certain state-funded scholarships for these students.

One student’s story illustrates the devastating impact of this decision. Brought to Oklahoma with their family at just two years old, they have grown up here and built their life in this community. At Oklahoma State University, they have excelled academically, become deeply involved on campus, and dedicated countless hours to serving others—earning the respect and admiration of peers, faculty, and community members alike.

Now, this hardworking student faces an $8,000 tuition bill due in just two weeks—an overwhelming burden to shoulder alone. Without immediate support, they will be forced to withdraw from the university, just three semesters away from completing their degree.

Your support can make all the difference. If you are able, please consider donating to help this student continue their education. If donating is not possible, sharing this GoFundMe is equally powerful in spreading awareness. Every contribution, no matter the amount, brings them one step closer to finishing their degree and achieving the dreams they have worked so hard for.
