About This Opportunity

The Jimmie L. Dean Scholarship Foundation provides scholarship awards to Oklahoma residents attending Oklahoma colleges, universities, or technical schools for the first time. The foundation focuses on investing in students who demonstrate strong academic performance, individual responsibility, and deep ties to Oklahoma. The scholarship program expects recipients to graduate with an undergraduate degree within 5 years in their declared major area of study and participate in foundation activities such as group dinners, recruiting, and fundraising events. The foundation looks at these awards as an investment in recipients and the future of Oklahoma, with a focus on specific career fields excluding arts, business, criminal justice, journalism, music, political science, pre-law, psychology, religious studies, sociology, or social sciences. The selection process involves an initial application review by the Board of Directors, followed by a finalist stage requiring a 500-word essay, letter of recommendation, transcript, and in-person interview.
