Oklahoma Hall of Fame Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Oklahoma Hall of Fame Gaylord Pickens Museum

Every year the Oklahoma Hall of Fame makes available cash scholarships and tuition grants to Oklahoma high school students. Through the Oklahoma Scholarship Competition, students in grades 9 through 12 test their knowledge on Oklahoma history, geography, and its people. Students compete for scholarships in the county in which they attend school. Those with high scores in each county receive a minimum of a $1,000 cash scholarship or tuition grant to an Oklahoma college or university. Each of Oklahoma’s 77 counties has at least 10 scholarships available, ranging from $1,000 to $8,000. Scholarships are made possible through generous donations by individuals, corporations, and Oklahoma colleges and universities.
