Tulsa Community Foundation channels educational support through more than forty scholarship funds created by donors for different purposes. The foundation says the funds distribute about $20 million in educational aid annually; that aggregate figure is not an individual scholarship amount. Opportunities include school-, county-, career-, employer-, faith-, and technical-education awards, so a useful search starts with each fund’s criteria.
The opportunities page lists active funds, basic criteria, and application dates. In the 2026 cycle, several applications ran from February into March, while research, specialized-career, and county-specific funds used different schedules. Those deadlines have passed, and the foundation has not posted one unified 2027 calendar. Students should check the specific fund before preparing an application.
Eligibility may depend on graduating from a particular high school, living in a county, participating in a program, working for a partner company, or pursuing a specific field. Some applications request a counselor recommendation, financial-need documentation, admission to an accredited school, or immediate enrollment. Adult and career-training students should still check the list; some funds include certificate or graduate study.
To avoid mistakes, confirm the deadline and time zone on each application, save the submission receipt, and ask whether aid renews or requires a new competitive application. Check whether payment goes to the college and how it affects other resources. The foundation lists scholarship contact information; if a fund has closed, its administrators—not third-party sites repeating old listings—are the source for whether it will reopen.
Before applying, confirm the current cycle, priority date, participating institution, enrollment load, and any missing records. Keep a copy of the FAFSA or state form, transcripts, and submission confirmation. Ask about renewal, covered expenses, and coordination with other aid. Do not budget money until you receive an official award.
Compare net cost and distinguish scholarships, grants, waivers, and loans; they are not all repaid or applied to the same charges. Verify current-cycle dates and requirements directly with the administrator.
Read the program profile and federal FAFSA guide; confirm with the administrator how the aid coordinates.
