Access and Community Impact

Inclusive Excellence.

At OSU, access and community impact are at the heart of our mission, creating opportunities for students from all backgrounds to succeed.

Since 2010, OSU has seen a 111% increase in students of color earning bachelor’s degrees and has received 25 national awards recognizing efforts to expand access and student success.

From Oklahoma’s Promise students and first-generation scholars to returning veterans and learners from all backgrounds, OSU remains a welcoming and supportive community.

Your Give Orange gift helps remove barriers and provides life-changing opportunities for students. Thank you for making a difference!
