Staff Council Scholarship Program

The Staff Advisory Council is committed to helping staff members at Oklahoma State University improve their lives, the lives of their families and the lives of the students with which they interact. Through the Staff Council Scholarship Program, numerous members of the OSU family have been afforded the opportunity to further themselves and improve their lives through the attainment of higher education.

The Staff Advisory Council established this scholarship to assist staff members continue their higher education.  The funds currently used to provide this financial assistance to staff members are generated by all Faculty and Staff through their participation in various fund raisers conducted by the Staff Council throughout the year.  Annually, the money raised is combined with additional money from University Administration.  Additionally, the Staff Advisory Council has an OSU Foundation Account which, when endowed, will provide monies. 

A special committee of Staff Advisory Council members is formed each year to select staff members as recipients of the scholarship/tuition assistance.  Each member of this special committee receives a copy of the applicant’s packet, conducts a review of the materials, and assigns a ranking to the staff member.  There is not one factor, i.e., grades, steady progress toward degree, financial need, salary, etc., used in determining the rank; rather it is a composite score based on all the important points each committee member decides upon.  The committee meets and reaches a majority opinion on which staff members should be offered the scholarship/tuition assistance.
