Scholarships

good hugTypically a quarter to a third or more of OSSM students each year come from economically disadvantaged families and could not afford to attend OSSM if it were not a free public school.  Fully 100% of students graduating from the Oklahoma School of Science and Mathematics are accepted to one or more colleges or universities, many to prestigious universities offering scholarships covering some or all of their tuition, room and board, books, and fees.  However, every year there are students who, because of family financial situations, still cannot afford to commit to the first year at their best choice university.  You can help remove remaining obstacles to a bright future by designating your gift for any of the scholarships below!

 

“Final Hurdle” Scholarships

The OSSM Foundation’s Scholarship Fund was established to provide modest financial assistance to OSSM graduates in need to enable them to commit to their first year of higher education.  A selection committee comprised of OSSM staff and faculty reviews student applications and recommends for OSSM Foundation support.

 

Other awards are presented annually to outstanding students based on academic achievement.
