Student-Athlete Scholarships
Since 2000, the total scholarship costs to the University of Oklahoma Athletics department has increased by over $12 million. Currently there are 118 endowed scholarships totaling just under $30 million existing for athletics. This holds an annual expendable amount at just under $1.5 million to be used towards scholarships across a variety of sports. As is depicted in the graph below, our annual scholarship costs have increased over 400% since 2000 and are nearly $16M currently. Our scholarship endowment only funds approximately 10% of our total scholarship costs, so the need to increase our endowment is clear and present.
