"OU holds a special place in our hearts, and it prepared me for a successful career in financial services," said Mike, who currently serves as the Senior Managing Director of East-West Bank in Dallas." Recently, I've met many Price students, and I've been incredibly impressed. Their career readiness is off the charts. As someone who has hired and managed graduates from many different institutions, I can assure you this is not the norm. I can also tell you that Price graduates are every bit as strong as their Ivy League counterparts.

Find a project or a funding opportunity at Price College that holds a meaningful connection for you and work from there. You'll find a whole universe of possibilities, whether it's funding new faculty and student scholarships or specific programs and facilities. You'll get a far greater return on your investment when you support something that speaks to you on a personal level."

"My scholarships gave me a tremendous feeling of confidence that helped me at Price and in my career," she said." I can't overstate what it meant to know that people wanted to support my education and help me reach my potential." "I've always felt supported by my tribe and by my family—financially and emotionally, "Ashlyn said. "But I know not everyone has that support system. That's why scholarships are so important. Easing a student's burden and allowing them to pursue their dreams is an investment that pays off many times over."
