ConocoPhillips has presented Rogers State University a generous grant to continue their support of the RSU Bartlesville campus and educational programs.

This gift perpetuates the ConocoPhillips Opportunity Scholarship program. It also strengthens the programs offered at the RSU Bartlesville campus, while helping to fund a comprehensive study regarding the unmet public higher education needs in the Bartlesville area.

“We are very pleased to receive this gift from ConocoPhillips,” said RSU President Dr. Joe Wiley. “We truly appreciate ConocoPhillips’ support of higher education in our community and believe this gift will help strengthen our educational programs.”

“I have had the opportunity to see first hand many of the accomplishments of RSU.
