Native American Business Scholars Academy Scholarship at Oklahoma City University

About this scholarship

The Native American Business Scholars Academy at Oklahoma City University offers full tuition to eligible Chickasaw students pursuing business degrees at OCU. The scholarship is paired with professional development through internships, business seminars, and networking opportunities, giving recipients both financial and career support. Full tuition does not necessarily include housing, meals, books, travel, or personal expenses, so the award is classified as partial funding under this site’s coverage standard and no dollar value is invented. Applicants must be Chickasaw citizens, pursue an eligible business degree at Oklahoma City University, and satisfy the university’s admission and enrollment requirements as well as the Chickasaw Nation’s higher-education rules. The Nation’s application requests a transcript and class schedule, and the authenticated portal may request additional partnership-specific documents. Higher-education applications are accepted by term: December 1 through February 15 for spring, May 1 through July 1 for summer, and July 15 through September 15 for fall. Prospective freshmen should coordinate OCU admission with the scholarship timeline because institutional admission can have a different deadline. The official Chickasaw Nation page and My Chickasaw portal are the sources to use for the current award decision.
