EDUCATION
Helping Students Pay for Higher Education The Chamber recognizes that students need financial resources to complete post-secondary education. We support: • FAFSA Completion: The Chamber supports efforts to increase the number of students who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) because it helps students learn about how to pay for higher education. • Pell Grants and TRIO: The Chamber supports continued availability of Pell Grants to help students pay for higher education. We also support federally funded TRIO grants that help disadvantaged individuals prepare for and succeed in higher education. Removing Red Tape for Child Nutrition The Greater Oklahoma City Chamber recognizes that federal nutrition programs play a key role in keeping children in the Oklahoma City metro fed. The Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act has not been updated in over a decade. The Chamber supports the reauthorization of this act to better serve the children of the Oklahoma City community.
