WILBURTON, Okla. – Eastern Oklahoma State College is recognizing 71 high school seniors from 23 area schools who are graduating with at least 15 college credit hours.

Enrollment Management Director Anne Brooks said students will be provided a royal blue honor cord that may be worn during their high school graduation ceremonies for taking the initiative to complete college-level coursework while still in high school

“We are extremely proud to honor the hard work and dedication of these high school seniors who committed to getting a head start on their college degree,” Brooks said. “By completing college credits in high school, students may be able to finish college earlier, saving time and money. Concurrent enrollment can also boost students’ confidence in their ability to attend college and they also benefit from earning dual credit at both the high school and college level. It’s a win-win for students and their families.”

ELEVATE, Eastern’s concurrent enrollment program, is available to high school juniors and seniors. Qualified high school seniors are eligible to take up to 18 credit hours tuition free, while juniors receive tuition waivers for their first nine credit hours. Students who earn at least 15 credit hours by their high school graduation receive the Eastern honor cord to wear at their graduation ceremonies.
