Academic Scholars Program
The Academic Scholars Program awards scholarships to students with high academic performance who plan to attend an Oklahoma public or private college or university. The amounts vary by which type of institution a student attends. The annual scholarship amount is $5,500 for students who attend the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University or the University of Tulsa; $4,000 for students who attend any other Oklahoma four-year public or private college or university; and $3,500 for students who attend Oklahoma two-year colleges. Students who enroll at public institutions are eligible for a tuition waiver.

The scholarship will be awarded for up to eight semesters of attendance at an Oklahoma institution for higher education in accordance with the continuing eligibility requirements. Oklahoma residents automatically qualify by scoring within the 99.5 to 100 percentile levels on the ACT or SAT as administered within the state.
