The Team for Children at Risk provides vital services to an extremely vulnerable population in our state. These children are at a critical age for development and growth physically as well as emotionally. Not only is providing specialized services for medical and psychological needs in these young people the right thing to do, it also increases their likelihood of becoming productive adults. The reality is that state and federal funds received for services provided through the Team for Children at Risk covers only a portion of the actual cost of these services. State and federal funds cover only 36 percent of the costs for services provided by the Team for Children at Risk. The team depends on private funds to supplement state and federal allocations to provide these crucial services.
Scholarships are a top priority at OU-Tulsa, as many of the students who attend this campus are non-traditional students, balancing an education with jobs and families. To support a student’s educational journey and contribute to scholarships on the OU-Tulsa campus, please consider giving to the following scholarship opportunities:
Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social Work Scholarships
OU-Tulsa Graduate Programs in Engineering Scholarships
OU-TU School of Community Medicine Scholarships
Through a planned or deferred gift, donors can reach across the generations to touch the future of OU and its students. A donor may make his or her gift unrestricted so that it can be used in an area where it is needed most, or may designate the gift to benefit a favorite college, department, or academic or athletic program.
Planned gifts are as unique as each individual who makes one and may be tailored in a way that best serves the donor's needs, objectives, and wishes, as well as those of OU.
To learn more about planned giving, visit the OU Office of Gift and Estate Planning website here.
From April through June of each year, OU Campus Campaign raises funds for a variety of programs near and dear to faculty and staff hearts. Because the OU family always responds so generously to this effort, we are able to help support scholarships, academic programs, colleges and departments. Please stay tuned for details regarding future OU Campus Campaign giving opportunities.
