The 2021 Academic All-State class is the 35th to be selected by the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence. Since the award program’s inception in 1987, some 3,500 high school seniors from 330 school districts have been named Academic All-State scholars. This year’s All-Staters scored an average of 33 on the ACT, with 11 recipients scoring a perfect 36. The students’ average GPA was 4.26. In addition, 34 of this year’s All-Staters are National Merit semifinalists, and two are National Hispanic Scholar semifinalists. Each of this year’s All-Staters will receive a $1,000 merit-based scholarship and a medallion. The All-Staters will be recognized at the foundation’s 35th annual Academic Awards Celebration on Saturday, May 22, at the Cox Business Center in Tulsa. #ITSAGREATDAYTOBEALONGHORN

JHS SENIORS: OSU is now calculating ACT superscores from submitted official test reports for admission and scholarship purposes. ACT plans to implement section retesting and superscoring. However, due to delays, the Oklahoma State Regents of Higher Education have allowed OSU to calculate superscores for admission and scholarship purposes at this time. This is a temporary policy change and OSU will rely on ACT-provided superscores when they become available.

JHS SENIORS: LOUIE FAMILY FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS The Kim and Harold Louie Family Foundation (the “Foundation”) anticipates awarding approximately $100,000 in scholarships in 2020. The Foundation intends to set the number of actual scholarships and the amount of an individual scholarship based on a consideration of certain factors, including without limitation, the financial resources and the qualifications of the scholarship recipients. This scholarship is for high school seniors and students who will be attending a college or university in the United States as a freshman during the 2020-2021 academic year. Applicants who are currently not seniors in high school (e.g., students who are taking a gap year or adults returning to school), but applicants who will be considered incoming freshmen are eligible to apply. Applicants should have demonstrated outstanding personal achievements, academic merit, leadership qualities and/or community service. Special consideration will be noted for applicants: • who have parents that are United States veterans or are currently in the U.S. military; • with a demonstrated financial need; • with parents who did not attend college; or • with a documented significant disability. Deadline March 15 Eligibility Requirements: To be considered for this scholarship, an applicant is required to: • Be a freshman in the 2020-2021 academic year and anticipate enrolling at a U.S. accredited college/university in the 2020-2021 academic year. • Have a cumulative, un-weighted grade point average between 3.7 and 4.0 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent). Students not on a 4.0 grading scale must convert their GPA to a 4.0 scale before submitting an application to the Foundation. • Have a minimum SAT score of 1300 (out of 1600) or a minimum ACT score of 28. However, if you did not take the SAT or the ACT because the school you will be attending in the fall of 2020 does not require such test scores, please so indicate in the application form. The Foundation will verify this with the school prior to any award. • Have at least two reference letters, one of which must be from a current or former teacher in an academic subject. • Submit an essay as further described in this application. • Have applied to a U.S. college/university, either full-time or substantial part-time, and plan to enroll in a minimum of two terms for the school year (verified by submitting a copy of the acceptance letter from the college or university as soon such acceptance letter is available). • Submit to interviews in person or by phone/Skype, if requested. http://www.louiefamilyfoundation.org/scholarship-application
