What is the Oklahoma Scholars Program?

Program is an effort by area businesses and school volunteers to encourage students to complete challenging courses during high school that will prepare them for jobs or higher education after graduation. The Scholars Course of Study gives students the foundation they need to succeed in technical school, community college, university, the military, or industry. With a Scholars background a person is a more attractive job candidate and more likely to complete training or education that leads to better jobs and better pay.
