January through December of 2008 proved to be a remarkable year for the Osage Nation Scholarship Program! Over $1.8 million was awarded in scholarships for the 2008 spring, summer and fall semesters. This is the most scholarships to date. Over 1,000 students received scholarships throughout the year. According to our records, Osage college students attend over 200 schools nationwide with some students that study abroad in other countries.
The scholarship amount increased along with students. Full-time students will now receive $2500 for the spring and fall semesters plus an incentive for previous semester grades. Full-time summer students receive $1600 plus the incentive. Awards and incentives are pro-rated for part-time students.
The next deadlines for the Osage Nation Scholarship program are May 1, 2009 for the summer semester and July 1, 2009 for the fall semester. Renewal packets will be mailed out at the end of March.
