Scholarships and Financial Aid
Departmental Scholarships
Each year the Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering directly awards to incoming and continuing students approximately 16 scholarships with a total value of $20,000. These scholarships are in addition to scholarships awarded by Oklahoma State University, the College of Engineering Architecture and Technology, and the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Each of the Biosystems Engineering scholarships has unique standards for evaluation. Thus, most students meet the qualifications for at least one. Check the form for the current year's deadline. Depending on timing, late applications may be considered. Awards are generally announced by the first of April.To receive consideration for Biosystems scholarships, you only need to fill out and mail in the one page scholarship form. If you cannot get these to print or don't have a printer, call the Biosystems Office at (405) 744-5431 and ask to have the Scholarship form mailed to you.
