Rewarding Our Youth

The Oklahoma Youth Expo awards more than $300,000 in academic scholarships.

Each year, thanks to our generous sponsors, the Oklahoma Youth Expo awards nearly $300,000 in scholarships to Oklahoma’s youth to help with their higher education goals.

“Our exhibitors continue to impress us with their success in the classroom, in their community involvement and their success in 4-H and FFA,” said OYE Executive Vice President, Kass Newell.

Scholarships are awarded based on academic success, community involvement and leadership. All recipients are required to have previously competed at OYE and all scholarships can only be redeemed at an Oklahoma Higher Education Institution.
