For the ninth year, the Oklahoma Hall of Fame will award one Oklahoma high school senior the $6,000 Oklahoma Hall of Fame Scholarship. The scholarship, which is dispersed to the winning student over four years, is based on the student’s leadership roles, civic and community involvement, academic achievement and knowledge and pride of our great state. Students must commit to attending an Oklahoma college or university to be considered; and students must be nominated for this scholarship by a teacher, administrator or any other adult not related to the student.

The scholarship fund was created predominately by the personal donations of Oklahoma Hall of Fame Members who wanted to encourage and inspire the next generation of Oklahoma leaders. A committee of Oklahoma Hall of Fame Members participates in the selection of the scholarship recipient.

The $6,000 Oklahoma Hall of Fame Scholarship is just one of the scholarships that are offered annually by the Oklahoma Hall of Fame.

Scholarship applications are due Friday, Sept. 6. Please visit OklahomaHoF.com/scholarships to download the application.
