Every fall we look to award 3 to 5 new teen parents who are graduating high school with scholarships that will help them continue their education through higher learning while also providing them with the support they need to provide for their families in the process.
“Nine tenths of education is encouragement”
Anatole France
Scholarship Benefits
Financial support of $1,500 per semester to be used by the student for tuition, fees, books, day care, transportation or anything else that will help them continue their education.
A laptop computer will be provided upon initial scholarship award to each student for use in higher education. The student will own the laptop.
Emotional support from the Foundation Team and other scholarship recipients to provide encouragement, troubleshooting and accountability.
Assistance in job hunting through resume preparation, networking and interview skills.
Let’s build something together
To encourage the students to persist in their education until graduation and finding a job, all the benefits (except laptop) can be continually received for up to eight consecutive semesters provided minimum requirements are met.
Minimum Requirements for Application and Continuation of Award
- Graduating with a Oklahoma City public school high school diploma or GED
- Minimum of 2.25 GPA (must provide official transcript)
- Provide proof of enrollment in secondary education
- Maintain at least 6 hours of educational credits
