Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-628.5: Dentistry

A program of assistance to citizens of Oklahoma studying

dentistry outside the state is hereby authorized for administration

by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. The State

Regents are authorized to provide direct assistance to bona fide

citizens of Oklahoma pursuing the study of dentistry at accredited

dental schools, and making satisfactory progress in their study, in

an amount not to exceed the equivalent of the nonresident tuition

charged at state-supported schools of dentistry, to be administered

under rules and regulations formulated by the State Regents for this

purpose. Provided, further, that the State Regents may operate an

assistance program for citizens of the state studying optometry

similar to that operated for dental students. It is the intent of

the Legislature that the State Regents allocate from appropriations

made by the Legislature sufficient funds for carrying out the

purpose of this program.
