Outstanding Senior Information


The Fall 2025 Outstanding Senior Applications are due Sunday, September 21, at 11:59 PM. No late applications will be accepted.

2025 Outstanding Senior Application

The Sooner Parents organization recognizes the All-Around Outstanding Senior at the University each fall. Additionally, Sooner Parents presents an Award of Merit to the Outstanding Senior of each undergraduate college. The selection procedure for the Outstanding Senior in each college is at the discretion of each Dean. All applicants must be expected to graduate in December or anytime in the Spring/Summer of their final undergraduate year; earned a cumulative 3.25-grade point average or higher and be enrolled full-time in the Fall semester in which they are applying – unless they are needing a specific number of hours to graduate or enrolled in an accelerated degree program. A faculty, staff, and student selection committee will review applications. There is no interview in this selection process.  

IMPORTANT:  Students can apply to more than one college (ex: Honors College and additional college).

Recipients will be recognized, with their College Dean, at a reception and ceremony. More information to come!
