Testimonial:
I am so proud to be apart of the Oklahoma City University community and especially the Clara Luper Scholars family.   The scholarship is a great and valuable gift, and OCU is a perfect setting to practice service leadership. The opportunities that have arisen during my time here are beyond my wildest dreams.  I have spent summers in New York City and Washington D.C.  Also traveled the country with the Varsity Men’s Rowing team,  and now have an excellent opportunity to attend graduate school, and all of this is a result of the Clara Luper Scholarship and the investment that was made in my life.
