Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund

What is the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund?

Established in the fall of 2016, the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund ensures that no student misses out on valuable education due to an unforeseen emergency. Each academic year, a number of students experience varied circumstances that force them to depart from Oklahoma State University due to financial strain. Currently, Oklahoma State University has limited resources to support more than 25,000 students on multiple campuses and that's where we come in. Our project serves to unite the Cowboy Family by extending a helping hand to students experiencing dire financial need, whether that be through tuition, rent or other critical expenses.

Your Gifts Make a Difference:

  • Since August, 26 students in need have received aid from the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund.
  • The average aid package is $1,472. 
  • Cowboy Strong has distributed more $26,000 this year alone. 
  • As a result of generous support from Mike and Anne Greenwood, all gifts up to $10,000 will be matched dollar for dollar!

Here’s How YOU Can Help:

  • By make a contribution to the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund. Your gift, no matter the size, is the difference between someone getting the opportunity to finish their education or go home. 
  • Share this opportunity within your network. Whether you click the Facebook or Twitter links on this page, send an email, a text or tell a friend - spreading the word is crucial to helping us reach our goal. To tag us and let others know you donated, please use #CowboyStrong!
