Scholarships

Students collaborate on a project at the University of Central Oklahoma campus.

Our Universal Application is currently closed for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Our Universal Application will reopen on October 1, 2025, for Fall 2026-Spring 2027 awards. All awards have been made for the fall 2025-spring 2026 academic year. If you received a scholarship, you should have been notified by email or mail. We received a historic number of applications last year, and we are excited to share that we awarded $5M to more than 1,000 students across the state of Oklahoma thanks to our generous donors and community partners. Please note that all of our scholarships are competitive, and we do not currently offer emergency scholarship assistance.
Be sure to follow us on Facebook or Instagram to stay updated on important announcements and success stories!

Transforming Futures

When Businesswoman Elaine Hahn passed away, her sister Kathy knew how important education was to Elaine. To honor Elaine’s legacy, she established the Elaine Hahn Memorial Business Scholarship at the Oklahoma City Community Foundation for young women who plan to attend college and study business. Students receiving the scholarship often graduate debt-free, which is important for Kathy.
