Oklahoma Heritage Scholarship Competition
Each year, the Oklahoma Heritage Association offers more than $400,000 in scholarships to high schoolers who have paid attention in their Oklahoma history classes. In the Oklahoma Heritage Scholarship Competition, ninth through 12^th graders take a test on Oklahoma history. Those with high scores in each county receive a $1,000 cash scholarship or tuition grant to an Oklahoma college or university. Most counties have at least three scholarships available.

The OHA also offers the $10,000 John W. and Mary D. Nichols scholarship to high school seniors. Students may be nominated for this scholarship by teachers or administrators not related to the student. The scholarship is based on the student’s demonstrated knowledge and appreciation of Oklahoma history, as well as academic achievement, citizenship and leadership.
