through the program, an increase of from Fall 2007 Ô A total of 2,136 students at Oklahoma public and private colleges and universities were enrolled in the Academic Scholars Program in Fall 2008, an increase of 26 from Fall 2007 Ô The 2008 freshman class totaled 649 students — 413 “automatic qualifiers” and 236 Institutional Nominees— compared to 628 in the 2007 freshmen class Ô Since the start of the program in 1991, an average of 17% of program participants lose the scholarship after one year in the program The rate for the most current year was 14% On average, about 72% of participants retain the scholarship through their fourth year of eligibility; the most current class was 75% Ô For the 1,672 participants entering into the program between 2001-2003, 78% (1,306) received at least a baccalaureate degree from an Oklahoma institution ¤ Based on data collected in 2007-08, about 69% of all the program’s graduates remain in Oklahoma one year after graduation This compares to about 82% of all Oklahoma bachelor degree recipients based on the latest statewide data The retention rate for Oklahoma residents in the program (74%) is significantly higher than for nonresidents (57%) After five years, about 32% of the Academic Scholar graduates are still in Oklahoma, compared to 61% of all bachelor degree recipients Ô About 85% of the program participants attend three universities—University of Oklahoma (49%), Oklahoma State University (22%) and the University of Tulsa (14%) The remaining participants attend public regional universities (8%), public two-year colleges (3%) and other private universities (4%) The three largest participating institutions also account for almost 91% of the total program expenditures Ô Few participants qualified for other Oklahoma financial aid programs In 2008-09, about 4% received an award from the Oklahoma Tuition Aid Grant (OTAG) program, and a little over 10% were eligible for Oklahoma’s Promise Less than 1% also received the Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant (OTEG) Ô Available data indicates that program participants generally come from higher income families Nearly 60% of participants not apply for federal financial aid, indicating a lack of financial need or eligibility for federal student aid Of the 42% of participants that reported parental income on the 2008-09 federal application, nearly 80% reported a family income of $50,000 or higher; 39% reported family income of $100,000 or more Ô Participation rates for Black and Hispanic students have remained minimal over the past five years; the rate for Black students in the program in 2008-09 was 0.75% and 1.59% for Hispanic students Ô For the first time since the implementation of the Academic Scholars program, compliance with the statutory 25% limit of non-resident student participation required six institutions to refund almost $1,000,000 in award funds back to the program REPORT CONTENTS Page I History of National Merit
