Most programs fall between 42% and 52% acceptance rates. The combination of low cost and selective admissions at Randall suggests strong value for qualified students.
Does Oklahoma's Promise scholarship program cover religious music education costs?
Oklahoma's Promise covers tuition for qualifying low-income students, but all six religious music programs are private institutions. Students would need additional financial aid to cover the remaining costs after the scholarship. At $16,474 net cost, Randall University would still require about $16,000 beyond what Oklahoma's Promise provides.
