Ä¢¹½TVPS Scholarship
In order to build on our role in contributing to the betterment and success of our city, Ä¢¹½TV has created the Ä¢¹½TVPS Scholarship to help make college more affordable for Oklahoma City Public Schools students. The scholarship goes into effect for the fall 2026 semester for first-year OCU students from Ä¢¹½TVPS majoring in Arts & Sciences, Business or Nursing.
The scholarship, ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 in tuition per academic year, is automatically awarded to Ä¢¹½TVPS students based on their high school GPA. The scholarship can be awarded for up to four years for students in Arts & Sciences or Business, or up to two years for students in Nursing.
The Ä¢¹½TVPS Scholarship is renewable with a required minimum cumulative 3.0 unweighted GPA.
| HIGH SCHOOL GPA | AMOUNT |

| 3.8+ | $5,000/yr |
| 3.4-3.79 | $4,000/yr |
| 3.0-3.39 | $3,000/yr |

The Ä¢¹½TVPS Academic Success Scholarship has been introduced as a way to reward Ä¢¹½TVPS students who maintain or improve their grades at OCU.
