Developing Students and Communities
 K20 Scholars volunteer at the annual National Weather Festival.

The K20 Scholars program provides financial and academic support to STEM majors as they complete their studies. The K20 Scholar community is built through monthly meetings and social events, allowing each scholar to network and receive support from other STEM majors.

The K20 Scholars program also gives back to communities across Oklahoma through Centerpiece Renewal Projects. K20 Scholars begin to conceptualize their projects during the sophomore and junior years, then implement them during their senior year. The Centerpiece Renewal Projects are designed to be sustainable, developing the community in which they are implemented. Additionally, many are aimed at encouraging K-12 students to consider careers in STEM fields. Click here for information about current projects.


K20 Scholars Program

The K20 Scholars program offers scholarships to high school graduates from the K20 Center’s network schools who are entering the University of Oklahoma to pursue degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The program provides four-year scholarships and a laptop computer for each student. K20 Scholars also receive additional money to design and implement a Centerpiece Renewal Project in their hometown.

K20 Scholars funders include BP and individual donors.

 

 
“Educating the whole student goes beyond books and research. By addressing the social, economic and political concerns of their local and immediate communities, student learning
becomes connected and meaningful."
