Broken Arrow Boy Scouts
NSU Scholarship Program
TAHLEQUAH - Northeastern State
University and the Indian Nations Council of the Boy Scouts
of America have announced the creation of a new scholarship program
designed to provide educational opportunities for deserving scouts
in the Broken Arrow area.
“I’m truly pleased to see that Northeastern is giving
back those who made it possible for the University to build a campus
in Broken Arrow,” said Jan Gordon, a member of the Board of
Regents of Oklahoma Colleges. “This additional partnership
only strengthens Northeastern’s commitment to providing the
quality education for people who want to achieve their dreams.”
NSU President Dr. Larry Williams announced the partnership on October
12 in a meeting with Indian Nations Council Executive Board Member
Jack Edwards and Executive Director Kent Caraway. The program will
begin with four one-year scholarships for use at any of NSU’s
campuses. Additional scholarships may be made available based on
additional private support of the scholarship program.
“Over the past six years, NSU and the Boy Scouts have become
neighbors and friends. We have worked together on several important
projects and we have cooperated in developing this property in a
way that will benefit Camp Russell, Northeastern State University,
and the City of Broken Arrow,” said Williams. “For many,
many years, our University has benefited from the dedication, enthusiasm,
and hard work of the young men who participate in the Boy Scouts
and this scholarship program will ensure that our new campus in
Broken Arrow will benefit from their presence among our student
population.”
Selection criteria will be established by the Indian Nations Council.
Those interested in applying for the scholarship should contact
Indian Nations Council or the NSU Scholarship Office in Tahlequah
or Broken Arrow.
“We’re honored to be a part of Northeastern’s
tradition of excellence and look forward to this new partnership,”
said Edwards. “Together we can provide a positive influence
for today’s deserving youth and the quality education necessary
to succeed.”
