Idea to send:	Topic Higher education funding Content Here in Tulsa, there is a new initiative where kids who graduate from a Tulsa Public high school get free tution to Tulsa Community College...that is terrific. I recently heard something about new scholarships that almost entirely cover the tuition for OK grads at OSU and OU. Again, I support this. But...as a working single mother, who went to college in Oklahoma (TCC and OSU, both) and currently works for the State, I am about to exhaust all of my deferrments and forbearances, and will soon be making very high payments on my student loans. I think setting aside some of this scholarship money to help people who went to college here and still work here in some public sector form repay their loans would be an excellent idea. It could come from whatever fund is paying for the new scholarships mentioned above, or from monies generated by the taxes students pay anyway, or even from the lottery or cigarette money. To retain the people we already have here, I think it would be a huge asset.
