What kinds of scholarships are available for undergraduate students at OSU?
OSU offers a variety of tuition waiver scholarships and cash scholarships.
Most tuition waivers for new freshmen require the applicant to attain a specified combination of unweighted high school GPA and ACT (or SAT) score.
Most tuition waivers for new undergraduate transfer students require the applicant to attain a specified combination of cumulative college GPA and college credit hours.
Cash scholarships are made on the basis of a variety of factors, including but not limited to academic credentials, financial need status, academic major, residency status (resident vs. non-resident), etc. The number of awards to be made each year will depend on available funding that year.
Demonstrated financial need via the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a requirement for eligibility for some tuition waiver and cash scholarships.
Some undergraduate colleges and academic departments at OSU offer cash scholarships to new freshmen and new undergraduate transfer students. To be considered for those college or departmental cash scholarships, submit the combined admission/scholarship application to OSU; no separate application is required. (However, this does not preclude a campus office from contacting an applicant under consideration for a scholarship to request additional information that may help determine the applicant’s eligibility for a scholarship.)
In addition, some undergraduate colleges and academic departments at OSU offer cash scholarships to currently enrolled undergraduate students. Currently enrolled students should contact their colleges/academic departments to find out how and when to apply for those scholarships. The application processes and deadlines for those scholarships are not uniform across campus; be sure to contact your college/department to find out your college’s/department’s application process and deadline.
I am a high school senior in 2006-2007 and an Oklahoma resident. How do I qualify for the OSRHE Academic Scholars Program?
The following applies only to Oklahoma resident high school seniors in 2006-2007 who will be new incoming freshmen at OSU in 2007-2008.
Oklahoma resident high school seniors become Academic Scholars through one of two methods: They qualify automatically based on criteria determined by the State Regents or they are nominated by OSU if eligible under criteria determined by the State Regents.
To qualify automatically, you must either be a National Merit Finalist or you must earn an ACT sum score of 133 or higher from a single national ACT test (or an SAT score of 1570 or more from a national SAT test). You must also apply to the State Regents before the 2006-07 year begins, no later than the summer before the fall term begins (OSU will supply that application upon request to finaid@okstate.edu). Only National Merit Finalists and students with a 133 ACT sum score (or 1570 SAT score) may be automatic qualifiers. (SAT score is computed by adding together the Critical Reading and Math sections of the new SAT; the Writing section score is not included.)
To be eligible for nomination by OSU, you must earn an ACT composite score of 32 or higher from a national ACT test (or 1410 or higher SAT score from a national SAT test) and achieve at least a 3.50 unweighted high school GPA (A=4.0), or you must have a high school GPA of 3.9 or higher and rank in the top 2% of your high school class.
Having a 32 national ACT composite score or a 3.9 or higher GPA with top 2% ranking does not guarantee you will be nominated by OSU for this highly competitive scholarship program. OSU may nominate only a limited number of students (80) for this program.
Normally, OSU has a few hundred students apply each year with a 32 or higher ACT score. Similarly, OSU has many hundreds of students apply each year with a 3.9 or higher GPA and top 2% class ranking. Clearly, with only 80 available IN slots to award, achieving these minimums does NOT guarantee an IN offer. The vast majority of OSU’s IN offers go to students with a 32 ACT composite score.
You must be a current high school senior who submitted the admission/scholarship application to OSU to be eligible for the Academic Scholar Program.
I am a high school senior in 2006-2007 but NOT a resident of Oklahoma. How do I qualify for the OSRHE Academic Scholars Program?
The following applies only to nonresident high school seniors in 2006-2007 who will be new incoming freshmen at OSU in 2007-2008.
Nonresident high school seniors become Academic Scholars through one of two methods: They qualify automatically based on criteria determined by the State Regents or they are nominated by OSU if eligible under criteria determined by the State Regents.
To qualify automatically, you must be a National Merit Finalist. You must also apply to the State Regents before the 2007-08 year begins, no later than the summer before the fall term begins (OSU will supply that application upon request to finaid@okstate.edu). Among nonresident students, only National Merit Finalists may be automatic qualifiers.
To be eligible for nomination by OSU, you must earn an ACT composite score of 32 or higher from a national ACT test (or 1410 or higher SAT score from a national SAT test) and achieve at least a 3.50 unweighted high school GPA (A=4.0), or you must have a high school GPA of 3.9 or higher and rank in the top 2% of your high school class.
Having a 32 national ACT composite score or a 3.9 or higher GPA with top 2% ranking does not guarantee you will be nominated by OSU for this highly competitive scholarship program. OSU may nominate only a limited number of students (80) for this program.
Normally, OSU has a few hundred students apply each year with a 32 or higher ACT score. Similarly, OSU has many hundreds of students apply each year with a 3.9 or higher GPA and top 2% class ranking. Clearly, with only 80 available IN slots to award, achieving these minimums does NOT guarantee an IN offer. The vast majority of OSU’s IN offers go to students with a 32 ACT composite score.
You must be a current high school senior who submitted the admission/scholarship application to OSU to be eligible for the Academic Scholar Program.
What does OSU offer to Oklahoma resident National Merit Finalists?
The following applies only to Oklahoma resident high school seniors in 2006-2007 who will be new incoming freshmen at OSU in 2007-2008.
National Merit Finalists who graduate from high school in spring 2007 are automatic qualifiers for the Academic Scholar Program of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE). Such students do have to send an application for the Academic Scholar Program to OSRHE (OSU has that application) as well as apply for admission/scholarships to OSU, but achieving National Merit Finalist status is sufficient to qualify.
Being an Academic Scholar through National Merit Finalist status brings with it these benefits:
1. A 4 year (8 semester) OSRHE cash award of $5,500 per year ($2,750/semester). It may be possible to extend that award to up to 5 years (10 semesters) with the approval of the State Regents (approval authority rests solely with the State Regents, not with OSU); requests for such extension must be made during the student’s senior year at OSU.
2. A 5-year (10 semester) full waiver of your OSU tuition charges that may be used in undergraduate and graduate school at OSU through the Graduate College (there are conditions, described in Academic Scholar tuition waiver scholarship acceptance forms).
3. Merit Finalists who advance to Merit Scholar status and designate OSU as first choice with National Merit Scholarship Corporation also receive a Merit Scholar cash award. The type and value of that cash award varies depending on the type of Merit Scholar award offered to you by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (there are 3 types). Essentially, Merit Scholars receive up to $8,000 over four years (contact OSU for more details). Merit Scholars may also receive an additional $4,000 over four years from their undergraduate college; such awards are solely at the discretion of the Merit Scholar’s undergraduate college.
There are annual credit hour and GPA renewal requirements to retain these awards from year to year. Those requirements and other details are spelled out in the appropriate scholarship acceptance forms mailed to students who qualify.
The $5,500/year cash award from OSRHE may be used to pay for books, fees, housing, etc., charges. Similarly, the funds from the Merit Scholar cash award (presuming a student advances to Merit Scholar status) may also be used to pay for books, fees, housing, etc.
The resident tuition waiver applies to tuition only; it does not waive fees, books, or room & board, etc. (fee, book, room, board, etc., charges are not tuition). The tuition waiver pays for resident courses only; it does not pay for Internet courses (600-series section courses), correspondence courses, etc.
What does OSU offer to nonresident National Merit Finalists?
The following applies only to nonresident high school seniors in 2006-2007 who will be new incoming freshmen at OSU in 2007-2008.

2. A 5-year (10 semester) full waiver of both the resident and the nonresident portions of your OSU tuition charges that may be used in undergraduate and graduate school at OSU through the Graduate College (there are conditions, described in Academic Scholar tuition waiver scholarship acceptance forms).

What does OSU offer to Oklahoma resident incoming freshmen with a 133 ACT sum score?
The following applies only to Oklahoma resident high school seniors in 2006-2007 who will be new incoming freshmen at OSU in 2006-2007.
Oklahoma resident students who graduate from high school in spring 2007, enter OSU in fall 2007 as part of the 2007-2008 freshman class, and achieve a 133 ACT sum score (as described below) are automatic qualifiers for the Academic Scholar Program of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE). Such students do have to send an application for the Academic Scholar Program to OSRHE (OSU has that application) as well as apply for admission/scholarships to OSU, but achieving a 133 ACT sum score is sufficient to qualify.
For spring 2007 high school seniors, the minimum qualifying ACT sum score is 133 from a single national ACT (add together all four of the ACT subscores to arrive at the sum score). The State Regents determine that minimum score, not OSU.
Being an ACT sum score automatic qualifier for the OSRHE Academic Scholar Program brings with it these benefits:
1. A 4 year (8 semester) OSRHE cash award of $5,500 per year ($2,750/semester). It may be possible to extend that award to up to 5 years (10 semesters) with the approval of the State Regents (approval authority rests solely with the State Regents, not with OSU); requests for such extension must be made during the student’s senior year at OSU.
The $5,500/year cash award from OSRHE is cash and thus may be used to pay toward any charges that appear on your OSU Bursar account (e.g., books, fees, room & board, etc.).
2. A 5-year (10 semester) full waiver of resident tuition charges. The waiver may be used for five years of undergraduate study as well as graduate study at OSU through the Graduate College. (Exception: The resident tuition waiver cannot be guaranteed to students entering the OSU College of Osteopathic Medicine or the OSU College of Veterinary Medicine. Students may request tuition waivers from those colleges but approval authority for such requests rests solely with those colleges.)
There are annual credit hour and GPA renewal requirements to retain these awards from year to year. Those requirements and other details are spelled out in the appropriate scholarship acceptance forms mailed to students who qualify.
The resident tuition waiver applies to tuition only; it does not waive fees, books, or room & board, etc. (fee, book, room, board, etc., charges are not tuition). The tuition waiver pays for resident courses only; it does not pay for Internet courses (600-series section courses), correspondence courses, etc.

For an Oklahoma resident student, being an Institutional Nominee at OSU brings with it these benefits:

It may be possible to extend that award to up to 5 years (10 semesters) with the approval of the State Regents (approval authority rests solely with the State Regents, not with OSU); requests for such extension must be made during the student’s senior year at OSU.
The $2,800/year cash award from OSRHE is cash and thus may be used to pay toward any charges that appear on your OSU Bursar account (e.g., books, fees, room & board, etc.).
