ADA – Oklahoma public school teachers have an opportunity to send their children to East Central University with assistance from the ³ÉÈËBÕ¾ “Teacher’s Promiseâ€� scholarship program.

³ÉÈËBÕ¾ Teacher’s Promise is a $1,500 annual scholarship offered to all children of Oklahoma public teachers who meet certain criteria.

“We would like to say thank you to the public school teachers of this state,â€� said Dr. Katricia Pierson, ³ÉÈËBÕ¾ president. “With the countless hours that teachers put in, we are happy to provide this opportunity for their own families and children.â€�

The $1,500 tuition waiver per year ($750 per semester) may be applied up to all four years (or eight semesters) as full-time, incoming freshmen are eligible to apply.

A potential ³ÉÈËBÕ¾ Teacher’s Promise scholarship recipient must be a dependent of an Oklahoma public school teacher, an Oklahoma resident (along with the parent), meet regular ³ÉÈËBÕ¾ admission requirements, and have a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file with the University.

³ÉÈËBվ’s Teacher’s Promise scholarship is a tuition waiver and not a cash award. It is not stackable with other institutional awards; the student’s highest-valued scholarship award takes precedence.

For more details on the program, please call the Office Of Recruitment 580-559-5628 or visit the page on the ³ÉÈËBÕ¾ website at www.ecok.edu/paying-college/teachers-promise.
