Each school year our chapter provides financial support through the awarding of $1000 scholarships to very deserving university bound high school seniors from our area with military sponsors.  We send application packets to the counselors of 20 area high schools each fall and select our winners in the spring.  Based on available funding we awarded 6 scholarships.

These scholarships are funded by local corporate sponsors, other organizations, chapter members and friends of the chapter.  We always have more deserving students apply than we can financially recognize, so we thank those who annually donate and ask you and others to consider donating again this year.   If you need more information on our program or becoming a donor, contact Dennis Clippinger at 580.536.5676 or go to Century Club, Gold Club or Platinum Club to donate.

We can all be proud of the selections chosen.  Our 2025 winners are:
