The Oklahoma Latino Legislative Caucus in partnership with various community organizations, is pleased to offer the Community Opportunity Scholarship through support from the George Kaiser Family Foundation.
Through this scholarship, we aim to invest in students affected by the recent federal decision to deny in-state tuition to those who would have been eligible based on previous Oklahoma law, their demonstrated need, resilience, and commitment to building a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.
