OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ Governor Brad Henry said today that the state might not be able to afford a plan by Senate Democrats to expand the number of Oklahoma college students who are eligible for free tuition.
During a meeting with state newspaper executives, Henry said he supports a proposal to raise the income ceiling for scholarships under the Oklahoma Higher Learning Access Program.
But he said he needs to see the numbers before he's convinced such a plan would be financially viable.
The proposal would raise the income level to be eligible for the program from $50,000 to $75,000. It would make about 90 percent of high school students in the state eligible for the program.
