Local Foundation Discusses Scholarship Opportunities On The Porch

A local foundation is working to connect students with donors in order to facilitate scholarships.

The Director of Scholarships joined News 9 on the Coca-Cola Southwest Beverages Porch to discuss the Communities Foundation of Oklahoma's mission.

"We serve communities, individuals and students across the state," Amber Shelton said. "And students specifically, as well who I work with, and making sure that they can get to college and fulfill their dreams."

Students can apply online here: https://www.cfok.org/students/.

"It's like that choose your own adventure book. As it sorts it and then tells [students] exactly what scholarships they qualify for," Shelton said.

The scholarship applications are due by March 15, and the foundation notifies the applicants within 30 to 60 days.
