[OkStudentPrep] 2021-22 OSRHE Academic Scholars Program

[Nelson, Lisa]

Dear High School Counselors:
The Academic Scholars Program, established by the state Legislature and governor in 1988 and operated by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, provides scholarships to academically outstanding students who attend an Oklahoma college or university. The 2021-2022 Academic Scholars application for automatic qualifiers (students qualifying from options 1 and 2 on the list below) is attached. The application is also available online at www.okhighered.org/academic-scholars<http://www.okhighered.org/academic-scholars>.
 2021 Oklahoma high school graduates may qualify for the program in one of three ways:
           1.  ACT/SAT Scores
 Students may qualify by scoring at or above the 99.5 percentile on the ACT or SAT.
ACT:  For fall 2021, the required ACT score is a total sum score of the ACT subject areas of 138.  [Note: The required ACT sum score increased from Fall 2020 due to new student "superscores" now being calculated and reported by ACT which may be used as an accepted score calculation by the State Regents for the Academic Scholars Program.]
SAT:  For fall 2021, the required SAT score is a total sum score of the critical reading and math subject areas of 1540.
            2. Nationally Recognized Awards
Students may also qualify by achieving one of the following designations: National Merit Scholar, National Merit Finalist, or United States Presidential Scholar.
3. Institutional Nominee Slots
Public colleges and universities may also nominate students attending their institution for the program based on criteria established by each institution.
 Students are required to be Oklahoma Residents according to OSRHE Residency Policy<http://www.okhighered.org/state-system/policy-procedures/part3.shtml> (OSRHE Policy and Procedures Manual, Chapter 3 - Academic Affairs. View Section 3.18 of PDF file.).  If you have any questions, please contact Linette McMurtrey at (405) 225-9131.
Thank you,
