The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (USAO) has established a new institutional scholarship called the Drover Difference Scholarship. It will be available beginning Fall 2022 for students that qualify for “Oklahoma Promise”.
This extra financial award is designed to supplement the state’s Oklahoma Promise Scholarship. The Drover Difference Scholarship is a four-year award for first-time enrolling freshmen. The scholarship provides $1,500 toward the student’s housing and an additional $1,650 toward mandatory fees for the academic year.
Students that qualify, go to https://admissions.usao.edu/apply to apply for admissions and scholarships.
In addition to this new opportunity, USAO has increased the amount of all of its existing competitive awards. Targeting students who show outstanding academic achievement and leadership potential, the annual value of these four-year awards ranges from $5,300 to $7,000.
For more information about these and other scholarships at USAO, visit usao.edu/scholarships.
JUNIORS & SENIORS: Sign up for a National ACT Test. Check with your counselor on if you qualify for a Fee Waiver. Go to act.org to register.
