Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund

 

As a result of generous support from Mike and Anne Greenwood, all gifts up to $10,000 will be matched dollar for dollar!

 

Established in the fall of 2016, the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund was created to ensure that no student misses out on the Cowboy experience due to an unforeseen emergency. Each academic year, a number of students experience varied circumstances that force them to depart from Oklahoma State University due to financial insecurities rather than continue their education. This fund serves to unite the Cowboy Family by extending a helping hand to students experiencing dire financial need, whether that be through tuition, rent or other critical expenses

 

Here’s how you can help:

  • Make a contribution to the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund. Your gift, no matter the size, will pair with others from the Cowboy family to support students in dire need. Our goal is to provide OSU with funds to support our students who have the greatest need.
  • Share this opportunity within your network. Whether you spread awareness through social media, send an email or tell a friend - spreading the word is important and will help us reach our goal.
