Scholarship opportunity
The Jimmie L Dean Scholarship Foundation is taking applications for the 2026 - 2027 academic year at our website www.jimmiedeanfoundation.org. The applications have 2 deadlines: Those students attending OSUIT have a June 15, 2026 deadline. All students other than those attending OSUIT deadline is April 15, 2026. There are a separate application forms - 1 for the OSUIT students and another for all other students. Every year since 2010, we have provided individual scholarships of up to $10,000 per year to outstanding Oklahoma students who attend Oklahoma colleges and Universities. The awards can be renewed for up to 4 years by students who meet the renewable criteria set forth on our website. Since the first awards in the 2010-2011 school year, we have provided actual funds of over $1.8 million.
The mission is to provide financial assistance to Oklahoma students who will attend Oklahoma colleges and universities that we feel will remain in out great state after graduation and contribute to the Oklahoma economy for many years. This award does not consider income levels, hardship conditions, or a specific entrance test score (although we do require a minimum 25 ACT score for 4 year colleges and Universities and 17 for OSUIT students). They do take into consideration the test score when trying to project a student's success in their chosen major area of study. They are simply looking for true Oklahomans who may find themselves in the position of not having sufficient funds to attend college but have income levels that preclude them from receiving enough financial assistance to cover their costs of attendance. The awards are structured in a manner to fill in the gap between the scholarships and awards already earned by a student and the cost of tuition and academic fees plus room and board charges, with the goal to eliminate or reduce the need for student debt. The qualities they are looking for are students who are responsible citizens who have worked hard and have achieved good academic standing. They view a student's work history, their expected major, their academic achievement and recommendations from those they have been associated with as a body of work to eventually make our decision as to who will receive an award. The application form provides an avenue for a short student essay to allow them to introduce themselves to our foundation. They rely upon this to help select our finalists each year. They encourage you to communicate to prospective students they take this opportunity very seriously. The awards are primarily awarded to students who will be pursuing degrees that are science related rather than arts or business majors. Therefore, some of the majors they will not consider are Accounting, Business, performing arts, English, literature, Psychology, Sociology, Journalism, Pre-law, Political Science, Music, Education or similar majors.
They are looking for students who are wanting to make or build things or serve in a health science field.

This project was created by gathering memorabilia from several families with service members. This display will be available in the High School hallway until April 2nd. Did you know: April doesn't claim many Military Holidays, however many important dates, such as April 15th, Purple Up Day, a specific day during April, also known as the Month of the Military Child, where people wear purple to show support for military youth. Thanks Knox and Jayden for reminding us of the cost of our freedoms.
