Meacham-Scott

“If you care about Oklahoma, if you care about our future, then you need to invest in OSSM.  Because OSSM is creating innovators that are going to drive our economy in the future.”   ~Scott Meacham, President & CEO, i2E Inc. (Innovation to Enterprise)

Carter, Tyler Headshot

“OSSM prepared me for a petroleum engineering undergraduate program, helped me start my first semester of college as a sophomore and helped me have a higher GPA after that first semester. . . . I do not think I could be in the position I am in now without my early exposure and connections to the oil & gas industry made possible through the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics.  (See more alumni stories & reasons for giving here!)

Economic engine

Of the first nearly 1,800 students OSSM has graduated since 1992, almost half are still involved in completing their educational and professional training.

  • More than half stayed in Oklahoma for undergraduate education
    • More than half now in the work force are in Oklahoma and more are coming back home as quality jobs become available!
    • Of those now in the workforce, approximately
      • 1/3+ are practicing engineers
      • 1/3 are in medicine/bioscience careers
      • the rest are in computer & data science/MIS, research, physics & chemistry, education, applied & computational math, economics & finance, marketing, law and many other fields
  • Some 85% are choosing science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields for their professions
A recent independent study found OSSM and its alumni already stimulating some $40 million in economic activity in Oklahoma annually…And that impact is increasing with every graduating class!
