Okla. Stat. tit. 70, § 70-2621: Tulsa Reconciliation Education and Scholarship Program

There is hereby created the Tulsa Reconciliation Education and

Scholarship Program. The purpose of the program is to provide a

scholarship award to residents of the Tulsa School District, which

was greatly impacted both socially and economically by the civil

unrest that occurred in the City of Tulsa during 1921. Beginning

with the 2002-2003 school year, or as soon thereafter as

practicable, and subject to the availability of funds, the program

shall each year make scholarships available to qualified residents

of the Tulsa School District, who meet the criteria set forth in

Sections 2623 and 2624 of this title, and who are intending to

pursue studies at an institution of higher education in The Oklahoma

State System of Higher Education or a private institution of higher

education, or who are intending to pursue studies in a postsecondary

career technology education program. The scholarship shall be an

amount of not more than the equivalent of the average amount of

resident tuition for which an eligible Tulsa Reconciliation

Education and Scholarship Program participant enrolled at an

institution in The Oklahoma State System of Higher Education or a

postsecondary career technology education program, whichever is

applicable, is obligated to pay. The scholarship shall be paid as

provided for in Section 2625 of this title. The further purpose of

this program is to establish and maintain a variety of educational

support services whereby residents who qualify for the program will

be prepared for success in postsecondary endeavors.
