Greetings from Bacone College! Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma and we are Oklahoma's oldest higher education institution. Our institution is returning to its historical mission to educate American Indians. As we prepare to transition to a tribal college, we are seeking out all Native students who wish to earn a college degree within a diverse campus community. We offer small class sizes and understand the factors that keep our Native youth from completing their degree. Our staff is trained and willing to help all of our students become successful.
We also offer our students the opportunity to play collegiate athletics. We currently offer all American Indian students a $10,000 scholarship per academic year!!!
I pray that you have students within your district that would be a good fit for Bacone College.
I have attached three fliers for your reading. One shows the academic programs, admission requirements, fun facts, and the other is an invite for your students to attend a native American Day on our campus. We understand that travel may be an issue and can offer an alternative for those who wish to attend but are unable.
I am available by email and phone for any questions.
I hope to hear from you soon,
MVTO(Thank you),
Kaila
