ELIGIBILITY
To qualify for the Academic Scholars Program, the applicant must meet the criteria outlined below.
-
Oklahoma students can automatically qualify for the program by achieving designation as a National Merit Scholar, National Merit Finalist or United States Presidential Scholar or by scoring at or above the 99.5 percentile on the ACT or SAT (see How to Apply).
- For fall 2010, a sum of the ACT skill area scores totaling 133 is required.
- For fall 2010 a sum of the SAT critical reading and math skill areas totaling 1580 is required
-
Out-of-state students may qualify for the program by achieving designation as a National Merit Scholar, National Merit Finalist or United States Presidential Scholar. However, out-of-state student participation is limited, and achieving such a designation does not automatically qualify students for the program. Out-of-state students wishing to participate in the program should contact their college of choice directly for additional information regarding eligibility.
-
Public colleges and universities may also nominate students attending their institution for the program based on criteria established by each institution.
Scholars will continue to receive a scholarship each year if they:
-
Maintain full-time enrollment (12 hours in the fall and spring and six hours in the optional summer or January term) each semester.
-
Complete at least 24 semester credit hours each year or at least 30 semester credit hours if taking the option of summer funding.
-
Maintain at least a 3.25 cumulative grade point average each year.
