The Choctaw Nation and the University of Tulsa formed a partnership to improve achievement levels of tribal members.
The partnership will provide a four-year scholarship to certain Choctaw students, assistance in seeking outside scholarships for Choctaw students, free tutoring for Choctaw students, support for the growth of the TU Native American Student Association and an annual tribal event.
"We know the desire to attend college and earn a degree is strong among CNO’s top student scholars,” said Chief Gregory E. Pyle in a press release. “With this partnership, we now have a holistic approach to helping our students cross that academic finish line."
