Oklahoma Scholarship Competition
For nearly 50 years, the Oklahoma Hall of Fame has been making higher education possible for Oklahoma students! Each spring, students in grades 9-12 test their knowledge of Oklahoma's history through the Oklahoma Scholarship Competition to earn cash scholarships or tuition grants. At least 10 scholarships are available in each of Oklahoma's 77 counties.
Oklahoma Hall of Fame Scholarship
The $6,000 Oklahoma Hall of Fame Scholarship is awarded to one high school senior annually each fall. The recipient is selected by Members of the Oklahoma Hall of Fame based on the student’s academic achievement, civic involvement, volunteerism, and extracurricular activities.
2024-2025 applications open August 2 - October 18.
