Prospective Freshmen

Prospective freshmen interested in the majors within the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (CASNR) are eligible to compete for three levels of scholarships:

How to Apply

To compete for these scholarships students need to complete the Undergraduate Application for Admission/Scholarships (online version of Application for Admission/Scholarships), available through the OSU Office of Undergraduate Admissions.  For additional information regarding the Undergraduate Application for Admissions/Scholarships, contact the OSU Office of Undergraduate Admissions at 219 Student Union, 405-744-5358 or 800-233-5019 ext 1or search their website http://admissions.okstate.edu/ .

Horticulture, Landscape Architecture & Landscape Contracting Majors - To qualify for Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture scholarships incoming freshman students must also complete the Horticulture & Landscape Architecture Departmental Scholarship Application.  Student signature is required!  For additional information contact Margaret Struble at margaret.struble@okstate.edu

When to Apply

The priority deadline for the Undergraduate Application for Admission/Scholarships is February 1 of the year a student plans to attend. It is recommended that students complete and return the application by the deadline, as most award selection committees meet in February and most award notifications are sent during mid-March.

College and Department Scholarship Consideration

To ensure consideration for scholarships available from the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and its respective departments, prospective freshmen students need to complete the college name requested in Question #5 with "Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources" (CASNR) on the Undergraduate Application for Admission/Scholarships. The Office of Scholarship and Financial Aid office will forward applications with this college designation to CASNR for scholarship award consideration.

To be considered for scholarship awards by a specific department, prospective freshmen students need to complete the degree name (also Question #5) with one of the academic majors within CASNR.  Students who are still trying to decide between different majors within CASNR should list both degrees under consideration.  The CASNR Academic Programs Office will forward student application information to the department(s) indicated.

Award Notification

Each unit is responsible for contacting students about their awards. Most award notifications are distributed by mid-March of the year a student plans to attend, and most often, only students who receive an award are contacted.
