The teacher education program at Oklahoma City University and Oklahoma City Community College have reached an agreement for scholarship awards in hopes of alleviating the shortage of qualified teachers working in local school districts.
The agreement provides scholarships to qualifying students from OCCC who wish to pursue a bachelor’s degree from one of OCU’s education majors, thereby reducing the costs of their college education.
Under the agreement, OCCC students who have earned their associate degree with at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA are eligible to become OCU Teaching Scholars.
