The Founding Members of Women of the South had a vision to provide higher educational opportunities for women who do not have resources to attend a college or university. That vision became a reality in 1995 when Women of the South (WOS) was founded. The two scholarship programs available include: an Associate Degree scholarship to Oklahoma City Community College for women who are the sole or primary providers of their household, and a scholarship for young women graduating from a Southside Oklahoma City high school.
Primary Provider Scholarships:
WOS Primary Provider scholarships are available to those women who are the sole or primary providers of their household. Recipients of this scholarship will receive funding from Women of the South to obtain an associate degree from Oklahoma City Community College. The scholarship includes tuition, fees, and books paid directly to the college. A recipient must be a primary provider who possesses a high school diploma or equivalent, resides in south Oklahoma City metropolitan area and falls within the financial income requirements.
The scholarship application and the accompanying documentation
deadline is May 15th.
WOS has awarded numerous
primary provider scholarships since its
inception.
