The Urban League of Greater Oklahoma City (ULOKC) is thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with the Oklahoma City Community Foundation and Bank of Oklahoma! The ULOKC Is pleased to implement a $50,000 scholarship program for nontraditional students. Bank of Oklahoma partnered with the Community Foundation to support the Urban League Workforce Scholarship Grant because of their commitment to our community and belief in the ULOKC’s mission. This grant program is designed to meet Oklahoma’s most significant employment gaps and accelerate our community’s goals for workforce development. Through education and training, the ULOKC prepares Oklahoma City community members for job placement and higher living wages. The ULOKC Workforce Scholarship program will allow us to provide direct scholarships to at-risk populations for career or technical training, skills, and college.
Eligible scholarship recipients will receive up to $2,450 toward annual tuition, fees, books, and expenses at an accredited college, university, or career/vocational-technical school.
Each student will be selected based on their letters of reference, individual career plan, and demonstration of financial need. Must be eligible to work in the United States to qualify.
Application Deadline: The completed application and ALL other requested information may be submitted by 5:00 pm November 17, 2023.
