Established in the fall of 2016, the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund was created to ensure that no student misses out on the Cowboy experience 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 finances rather than continue their education. Currently, Oklahoma State University has limited resources to support more than 25,000 students on multiple campuses. This project serves to unite the Cowboy Family in extending opportunity to all students experiencing dire financial need who have exhausted all other resources.
Gifts to this project through the OSU Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, are tax deductible as allowed by law. If you have questions about your gift, please contact the OSU Foundation at 800.622.4678.
Student Foundation is a student-led philanthropic organization committed to building a tradition of philanthropy among OSU's student body. For nine years, we have helped educate our peers about the value of philanthropy to Oklahoma State University and help them start their tradition of giving as students. We invite you to team up with us as we strive to remedy one of OSU's greatest needs by making a gift the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund.
As a Cowboy family we can make a difference when we work together. Your gift of $10 will join others to ensure we're ready when help is needed.
During the fall of 2016, two student groups created the Cowboy Strong Student Emergency Fund. Congrats to them for their awesome support of students in need!
Last fall with 109 days until Finals Week, Hurricane Harvey made landfall. Thanks to the Cowboy family, students were helped throughout this unexpected tragedy.
Fall enrollment was 25,254 students and we'll continue to need emergency funding for those experiencing unforeseen circumstances. Our gifts help ensure these students see graduation!
The average support package for a student through Cowboy Strong was for $1,472. At gift at this level could save a single student from leaving OSU.
