The purpose of the Ragland Family Education Foundation Scholars Program is to provide financial assistance to Oklahoma high school graduates who would otherwise find it difficult to finance a college degree. The program is specifically focused on students who want to pursue a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM).
Be sure to read details as to which majors do not qualify for assistance. Quoted from website: “While we have high regard for these fields of study, our scholarship program is not intended for degree programs in the medical services field (including, but not limited to, veterinary medicine, nursing, dermatology, speech therapy, physical therapy and/or nurse practitioners). However, medical research fields such as biomedical chemistry are included.”
The scholarship program intends to grant up to $5000 each in scholarship awards to qualified and deserving students. 2025/26 awards will be announced in May 2025. To date, the scholarship program has awarded over $560,000 in grants to students in Oklahoma.
