Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-2281: Former prisoners of war - Persons missing in action -

Dependents - Free tuition.

A. Any current or former prisoner of war or person missing in

action, as defined by the provisions of this section, and any

dependent of a current or former prisoner of war or person missing

in action, upon being duly accepted for enrollment into any state-

supported institution of higher education of any type, or state-

supported technical or vocational school, shall be allowed to obtain

a bachelors degree, or certificate of completion, for so long as

such former prisoner of war, person missing in action or dependent

is eligible, free of general enrollment fees. Once a person

qualifies as a dependent under the terms and provisions of this

section, the fact of the return of the parent or the reported death

of the parent will not remove the dependent from the provisions or

benefits of this section.

B. For purposes of this section:

1. "Prisoner of war" and "person missing in action" means any

person who was a resident of the State of Oklahoma at the time he or

she entered service of the United States Armed Forces, or whose

official residence is within the State of Oklahoma, and who, while

serving in the United States Armed Forces has been declared to be a

prisoner of war, or to be a person missing in action as established

by the Secretary of Defense; and

2. "Dependent" means any child not to exceed twenty-four (24)

years of age born to or adopted by a parent who served or is serving

as a prisoner of war or was declared by the United States Armed

Forces to be a person missing in action.

C. If federal funds are provided for general enrollment fees of

said dependent, this section shall not be applicable.
