SCHOLARSHIP
APPLICATION
PROCESS

Check online to see your missing
materials. We need these scholarship
materials so you are considered for all

been admitted without a transcript or
test scores, but we need them BOTH for
scholarship consideration.
CREATE YOUR
O-KEY ACCOUNT
okey.okstate.edu

Your O-Key account is your passport to
campus. You have to set it up before
you can access your OSU email account,
accept your scholarships and financial
aid, sign up for housing, enroll in classes
and more, so it’s important to do this
as soon as possible. To set it up, go to
okey.okstate.edu and click on O-Key
Activation.
For help setting up your O-Key, visit
it.okstate.edu or contact the IT Help
Desk at helpdesk@okstate.edu or
405-744-4357.
For your security, your O-Key password
will expire every 120 days. If you’re locked
out of your account, select the “Forgot
your Password” link on the login page.
You’ve been admitted, now maximize
your scholarship opportunities by
submitting your:
Ocial High School Transcript

SPRING STUDENTS
For students entering in the spring,
Oct. 15 is the priority scholarship
deadline, and the final scholarship

Completed scholarship applications submitted by Nov. 1
will receive early opportunity scholarship consideration and
notification. Those submitted by Feb. 1 will receive priority

ocial test score from ACT or SAT, and we encourage
students to provide us their test scores as soon as they are
available for complete scholarship consideration. For more

IMPORTANT CONTACTS
Oklahoma State University (OSU) is committed to maintaining a learning environment that is free from discriminatory conduct based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender

and/or sex discrimination include: sexual violence, sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic and intimate partner violence, stalking, or gender-based discrimination. OSU encourages
any student who thinks that he or she may have been a victim of sexual misconduct or sexual discrimination to immediately report the incident to the Title IX Coordinator (campus contacts

Deputy Title IX Coordinator. If a reporting student would like to keep the details confidential, the student may speak with sta in the Student Counseling Center (405-744-5472) or the
University’s Victim Advocate (405-564-2129). For more information regarding Title IX violations, please go to: http://1is2many.okstate.edu. This publication, issued by Oklahoma State
