At OCCF, we are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Bonnie Wood, a longtime counselor at Western Heights High School and a cherished member of OCCF’s Central Oklahoma High School Counselor Network.

OCCF’s scholarship program would not be a success without the hard work and dedication of high school counselors throughout the state.

Learn more about Bonnie Wood and her legacy at occf.org/celebrating-the-life-and-legacy-of-western-heights-counselor-bonnie-wood.

The impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words and deeds resonated deeply in Oklahoma City. Inspired by his work, brave individuals like Clara Luper initiated sit-ins at local establishments, leading to the desegregation of many places years before the Civil Rights Act.

Let's celebrate, reflect & never stop pushing forward!

We had a great time hosting our Central Oklahoma High School Counselor Network (COHSCN) for a workshop offering essential insights into OCCF scholarships and procedures.

And, with Oklahoma City University providing the space through its Meinders School of Business, our counselors also received a campus tour highlighting OCU admissions, financial aid, and specialized academic programs to better support counselors in guiding students toward suitable educational pathways.

Counselors in our COHSCN play an integral role in introducing students in central Oklahoma to scholarships from various sources, not just OCCF. Our team recognizes this role and works with them to provide continuing education, networking opportunities and even COHSCN-specific scholarships that their students can apply to! Thank you to the educators from these 54 schools in central Oklahoma who have made a lasting commitment to the education of Oklahoma students.
