## About this scholarship

The Academic Scholars Program, administered by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, is designed for high-achieving students who choose to pursue their undergraduate education at participating colleges and universities in Oklahoma. Eligible candidates typically include top-performing students, such as National Merit Scholars. The program provides financial support to help cover the costs of tuition, fees, room and board, and textbooks while pursuing an undergraduate degree. To participate, students must enroll full-time at an eligible Oklahoma institution. While this merit-based scholarship is awarded based on academic achievement, students are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to coordinate their overall financial aid package. Recipients must maintain specific academic standards, including a minimum grade point average and credit hour completion, to renew the funding each year. For current deadlines and application timelines, applicants should see the official page for current dates.
