The Oklahoma Business Roundtable will award three scholarships in the amount of $5,000 each. All students competing in the current competition are eligible to apply.

The Oklahoma Business Roundtable, formed in 1991, is a non-profit public/private partnership. Their primary mission is to assist the Governor and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce by supporting and encouraging business investment and jobs in the state.

Composed of more than 130 top Oklahoma corporations and business organizations, the Roundtable provides important business development advice and assistance to the Governor, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce and other state leaders.

The Governor attends and participates in the Roundtable membership meetings which are held in Oklahoma City and Tulsa.
