All students who graduate from Ardmore area schools with a minimum of a 2.8 GPA and attend an Oklahoma college or university are guaranteed to receive assistance.

In 1990, the Greater Ardmore Scholarship Foundation was founded with the goal of providing college scholarships to area students from average income families.

Qualifying students are those who receive no more than $2,000 per semester in other financial aid and whose parents have a gross adjusted income under $75,000. Students admitted into the program receive a $500 scholarship per semester - a possible total $4,000 scholarship.
