How to Apply

Incoming freshmen can apply for President's Community Scholars via the general OU application for admission. The deadline to submit your scholarship application is the same deadline as the general scholarship application. Incoming freshmen must submit their applications through this process or they will not be eligible for President's Community Scholars.

Prospective students must answer the two questions in the supplemental scholarship section of the OU Application. If you do not answer these questions, you will not be considered for OU leadership, community service and major-based scholarships. Students may also be asked a third major-specific question depending on the academic preferences you list in your Common Application.

• The University of Oklahoma believes strongly in educating leaders of communities in Oklahoma, as well as across the country and the world. Please share your leadership experiences and why they are important to you.

• The University of Oklahoma is the home of a vibrant, diverse and compassionate University community that is often referred to as “the OU family”. Please describe your cultural and community service activities and why you chose to participate in them.

• What is your career area of interest, and why do you have a desire to work in this particular field?*

* The third, academic-based question is asked by certain academic departments. Therefore, it may or may not appear in your scholarship section depending on the academic preferences you list in your application.
