Investing in the Future
2004 COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SCHOLARS
The Oklahoma City Community Foundation
Board of Trustees is pleased to present this commemorative
publication in recognition of the
2004 Community Foundation Scholars and the 2004 Foundation of
Promise Scholars.
The Trustees congratulate the recipients and wish them success in
their future endeavors.
THE OKLAHOMA CITY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
Founded in 1969 by Oklahoma City businessman and philanthropist
John E. Kirkpatrick
and fellow business leaders, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation
is recognized as
the metropolitan area's non-profit public charity that works with
donors and non-profit
organizations to create funds that will benefit the community both
now and into the future.
Through the generosity of thousands of donors over the past 35
years, the Oklahoma City
Community Foundation has grown to be one of the community's most
trusted and credible John E. Kirkpatrick
organizations and a leader in identifying emerging issues and
developing programs to meet those issues.
The Oklahoma City Community Foundation manages more than 800 funds
with assets in excess of $420 million. These funds represent a wide
variety of donor interests from education and scholarships to
endowment funds for non-profit agencies to the beautification of
public lands and parks. The Oklahoma City Community Foundation also
operates the country's largest agency endowment fund program in
the
country with more than 250 local non-profit agencies with permanent
endowment funds.
The Oklahoma City Community Foundation is governed by a 15-member
board of trustees comprised of business and civic leaders. Trustees
are selected to serve due to their proven integrity, community
knowledge
and their ability to make fair judgments on complex issues.

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
New Opportunities Scholarship Initiative
When the Oklahoma City Community Foundations board of trustees
approved the New Opportunities Scholarship Initiative in 1998, the
decision was made with one simple goal in mind: to encourage more
students in Oklahoma County to attend college or other post high
school training. The initiative was created upon the belief that to
ensure our community remains a quality place to live and work, then
higher education must become a viable option for any high school
student in Oklahoma County who is eligible and has the
desire.
The New Opportunities Scholarship Initiative focuses on not only
offering financial support to worthy students through five distinct
scholarship programs but also by providing a support system for
high school guidance counselors. During the program's first five
years, $905,000 was awarded in scholarship funds to 938 students in
Oklahoma County. To build upon this success, in 2003 the board of
trustees has committed $2.1 million toward the initiative through
2007, more than double the amount allocated in the initial five
years.
The New Opportunities Scholarship Initiative is comprised of the
following five programs: The Community Foundation Scholars, the
Foundation of Promise Scholars, Oklahoma Youth With Promise
Scholars, the Non- Traditional Student Scholars and the Nurse
Education Program:
COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SCHOLARS The Community Foundation Scholar
program rewards good students who are also good citizens who might
not otherwise qualify for awards based solely on the academic
standards. The $1,000 per student scholarship is a means by which
the Oklahoma City Community Foundation can encourage recipients to
be successful college students. In 2004, the Oklahoma City
Community Foundation is awarding 93 Community Foundation Scholar
awards.
FOUNDATION OF PROMISE SCHOLARS The Foundation of Promise program
provides scholarships for first-generation college students — those
who will be the first in their family to attend college. To be
eligible for a Foundation of Promise Scholar award, a high school
junior must apply and agree to complete specific activities in
preparation for college admission. Upon completion of these
activities, the student becomes eligible for a $1,000 scholarship
to any accredited post secondary educational institution. In 2004.
75 students will receive Foundation of Promise Scholar
awards.
YOUTH WITH PROMISE SCHOLARS The Oklahoma City Community Foundation
works with both public and private agencies to help children who
graduated while in Oklahoma's foster care system receive
scholarships. Students receive support from volunteer mentors in
addition to funds for college. Last year 26 students received
scholarships from this program.
NON-TRADITIONAL SCHOLARS Helping adults re-enter the educational
system is the goal of the Non-Traditional Scholars program. Working
through six agencies, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation
identifies students who have completed one educational program and
have both the ability and desire to advance to another program. The
sponsoring agency identifies the students and agrees to provide
mentoring as the student participates in the new educational
program.
NURSE EDUCATION PROGRAM In an effort to address the qualified
staffing challenges facing area hospitals, the Oklahoma City
Community Foundation collaborated with five metropolitan hospitals
to launch the Nurse Education Program in 2003. The program offers
scholarships to nurses employed at the participating hospital and
seeking a RN certification or a bachelor's degree. In 2003-04, the
program provided $60,000 in scholarships to eligible nurses at five
community hospitals.
OKLAHOMA CITY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
The Oklahoma County Guidance Counselor Network
An important ingredient in the Oklahoma City Community Foundations
New Opportunities Scholarship Initiative is the involvement of the
guidance counselors at each of the high schools in Oklahoma County.
For many students, the guidance counselor is an important source of
information on college admission requirements and financial aid
resources.
In recognition of the important role they play, the Oklahoma City
Community Foundation formed the Oklahoma County Guidance Counselor
Network. For many of these counselors, the information shared at
the Network’s two workshops per year is an important opportunity to
learn about current college admission issues and financial aid
opportunities. In addition, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation
coordinates campus visits for counselors to universities, colleges
and technology centers, both public and private. As an added
incentive, the Oklahoma City Community Foundation provides at least
one Community Foundation Scholars award to each high school with a
participating guidance counselor.

CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Central High School
Alumni Association (CHSAA) continues with a tradition of education
for the community by providing scholarships for students who
graduate from central Oklahoma high schools. Founded in 1892,
Central High School was the first high school in Oklahoma City,
providing educational services for Oklahoma City area students
until its closure in 1968. According to Robert Ross, class of 1946,
the alumni want to continue to honor the tradition of quality
education by helping deserving students continue their education
after high school.
In addition to the Community Foundation scholars, CHSAA funds at
least one vocational technical scholarship and the Leveta Land
Scholarship for a student in secretarial science. CHSAA is funding
five Community Foundation Scholar awards in 2004.
IRENE P. AND SAMUEL E. FRIERSON EDUCATIONAL TRUST Dr. and Mrs.
Frierson were long-term residents of Oklahoma City. They died in
the early 1960s. Dr. Frierson was a native of Mississippi and a
graduate of Tulane University. He served as an army surgeon in
France during World War I and practiced medicine in Oklahoma City
for more than 40 years. The Friersons had no surviving children and
created the Frierson Educational Trust to provide scholarships for
students that attend college in Oklahoma. The Oklahoma City
Community Foundation is honored to have the Frierson Educational
Trust, currently administered by the Bank of Oklahoma Trust
Department, as a sponsor of the Community Foundation Scholars
awards.
WINONA S. PRESLEY FUND The Winona S. Presley Fund was established
in 1999 and supports a variety of educational programs. Mrs.
Presley was a resident of Britton, Oklahoma where she was a
longtime supporter of education. In addition to her fund at the
Oklahoma City Community Foundation, Mrs. Presley established
endowments at the Oklahoma 4-H Foundation, the University of
Central Oklahoma and Oklahoma City University. Within the New
Opportunities Scholarship Initiative, the Presley Fund supports the
activities of the Oklahoma County Guidance Network, enhancing the
knowledge and expertise of Oklahoma County's Winona S. Presley
guidance counselors.
WILLIAM M. AND JANET S. JOHNSON SCHOLARSHIP FUND The William M. and
Janet S. Johnson Scholarship Fund, which was established through
bequests, provides opportunities for graduates of Minco High School
who show promise of benefiting from higher education. In addition,
the fund also
supports the Nurse Education Program.
WILLIE ELIZABETH SHIPLEY FUND AND THE E.K. GAYLORD FUND Through the
generosity of donors Willie Elizabeth Shipley and E.K. Gaylord, the
Oklahoma City Community Foundation is able to provide funding for
Community Foundation and Foundation of Promise Scholars.
Miss Shipley worked as the Secretary of the Oklahoma State Senate
for 48 years and documented some of the most colorful history of a
developing state. In 1903, Mr. Gaylord moved from Colorado to
Oklahoma Territory and established the Oklahoma Publishing Company
which publishes The Oklahoman.

How to Start a Scholarship Fund at the Oklahoma City Community
Foundation
In addition to the New Opportunities Scholarship Initiative, the
Oklahoma City Community Foundation also administers more than 70
additional scholarship funds for a wide variety of groups and
organizations, making the Oklahoma City Community Foundation the
state’s largest independent administrator of scholarship programs.
In 2004. the Oklahoma City Community Foundation will administer
scholarship assistance to more than 450 students.
There is no better way for you to invest in the future than
establishing or contributing to a scholarship fund at the Oklahoma
City Community Foundation. Individuals and organizations have
started funds for a variety of reasons. Some want to honor the
memory of a loved one, others want to promote a particular
profession or occupation and still others seek to support students
from specific segments of our society.
The Oklahoma City Community Foundation makes it easy for donors and
organizations to establish scholarship funds by providing all of
the administrative assistance to manage the funds, selecting the
recipients and paying the scholarship award to the appropriate
institution. Donors and organizations may choose to be involved in
implementing the scholarship program and can be assured that the
scholarship fund will continue to be administered according to
their intentions.
Perhaps you have a desire to establish a scholarship. A great place
to start would be at www.occf.org under the Scholarship Center tab.
Another helpful option is to contact Anna-Faye Rose. Scholarship
