Friends of the Arts

Supporting the Fine Arts at the University of Oklahoma is simple.  By attending performances or art shows, joining a support organization or making a financial contribution, you are encouraging the next genteration of professional artists and the dedicated faculty who support them.

Professional careers in the arts do not always come with large paychecks. That fact along with rising tuition costs make scholarships more important than ever. Additionally, as part of degree requirements, our students are required to participate in performances, concerts and art shows, which limits time available to hold an outside job. We want our students to be able to pursue their passion knowing we’ve done everything in our power to limit their post-graduation educational debt burden.

The Happily Every After Fund is an intiative created to assist extremely-talented students with very specific and critical financial needs.  Without significant aid, these students, with great promise and potential, cannot attend the university or have to drop out before completing their degree.  Each and every student has a unique and special story.  This fund was created so friends and supporters could help write a positive ending to a student's story and help make their dreams come true.  To make a gift to the Happily Every After Fund, click on the "Make a Gift Online" button, choose the option to select specific giving areas and designate "Happily Every After" in the comments section.

For more information about scholarships or other giving opportunities, contact Lee Ann DeArman at (405) 325-7376 or labd@ou.edu.
