About the Scholarship

Oklahoma State sets its international first-year award on a grid of test score against grade average, from $15,000 a year at the top to $9,500 at the bottom of the tested rows, with four-year totals reaching $60,000.

The grid accepts English tests in place of the SAT or ACT, so an IELTS of 8 earns the same row as an ACT of 32. Applicants with no test at all fall to a grades-only row paying $9,000, $7,000 or $6,000, and a student below a 3.25 average with no test score appears to get nothing.

Read the terms before counting the money. The award waives tuition only, never fees, and only in autumn and spring. On an out-of-state award the university waives out-of-state tuition up to half the award each semester, so in-state tuition and all fees still have to be paid.

What It Covers

  • Tuition

A grid of test score against grade average, paying $15,000 a year at the top (an IELTS of 8, an ACT of 32 or an SAT of 1420 with a 3.75 average) down to $9,500. Students submitting no test score are placed on a grades-only row paying $9,000, $7,000 or $6,000, with nothing published for an average below 3.25. Four-year totals run to $60,000. The award waives tuition only, not fees, in autumn and spring, and cannot be used in summer. On an out-of-state award the university waives out-of-state tuition up to half the award each semester, leaving in-state tuition, any remaining out-of-state tuition and all fees payable. A student may hold only one tuition waiver a semester.

Eligibility

Entry as an international first-year student, with the band set by a weighted cumulative grade average on the 4.0 scale together with an English or admission test score. Renewal needs full-time enrolment each autumn and spring and an overall grade average of 2.00, with no probationary period.
