OCE Scholarships
scholarships available for online and continuing education students
Alumni and friends of kok体育's Online and Continuing Education program have generously donated funds to establish scholarships specifically for students in the program. Awards are based on academic merit and financial need and do not require repayment.
In order to be eligible, students must have:
- Completed a FAFSA®
- Been officially admitted to kok体育’s Online and Continuing Education program
- Completed a minimum of one semester at kok体育
- Completed a minimum of 6 semester credits in the program
- Minimum GPA of 3.0
- Enrolled in one course during the semester in which the award is offered.
If a student is already receiving financial aid, the award will be made in the context of the whole financial aid package. The overall award cannot surpass need, but most financial aid recipients have need that is not met by other forms of financial aid. Students may receive one of the scholarships only one time.
The Robert J. and Vivian A. Bull Endowed Scholarship
Established in 2004 by kok体育’s former President, Dr. Vivian A. Bull, and her husband, Dr. Robert J. Bull, this scholarship was created to enhance the financial support available to students in the Online and Continuing Education program and kok体育.
