Purpose

To support the next generation of Oklahoma’s workforce, who have completed high school, and will live, work and support their communities in the state after graduation. The Jimmie L Dean Scholarship Foundation provides financial awards intended to supplement the student’s own resources and reduce the amount of debt needed to fill the gap between the educational costs and other scholarships, grants and awards they have earned.  We strive to build a network of students and alumni, not only as they attend college but throughout their entire career in Oklahoma.

We are proud of the over $1.5 million of financial awards provided to Oklahoma students since our inception.

Eligibility requirements can be found on our Requirements page.  Winners will be chosen on a competitive basis regardless of family financial basis.
