Online Scholarship Applications for 2021-22 Academic Year Open Oct. 1
The Oklahoma City Community Foundation recently awarded $875,500 in scholarships to 278 Oklahoma County high school graduates for the 2020-21 academic year through the state’s largest independent scholarship program.
“With the cost of college soaring and the economic impact caused by the chaos of the pandemic, paying for college is a major concern for students,” said Nancy Anthony, president of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. “We offer more than 150 scholarship opportunities established by generous donors. Because each scholarship is invested for long-term support, they can continue to provide unwavering financial support for students, even in the unpredictable times we are faced with now.
Designed to help a diverse range of students with higher education expenses, Oklahoma City Community Foundation scholarships offer students the ability to pursue careers or colleges they may not have had the opportunity to pursue otherwise. In total, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation awarded $2.5 million in scholarships to 799 students throughout the state for the 2020-21 academic year.
