How to Apply for a Scholarship
Your application for admission serves as an application for an Academic Tuition Waiver. These academic scholarships are awarded based on an applicant’s GPA, ACT test scores, date of admission and date of enrollment. Priority consideration will be given to students enrolled before May 15. Eligible applicants enrolled after May 15 will be placed on a waiting list and awarded as funds become available.
Students must meet all scholarship requirements to be considered:
- Must be a U.S. citizen
- Must be an Oklahoma resident
- Must be enrolled as a full-time degree seeking student
- Must be a first-time incoming Freshman
- Must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
