Opportunity Orange Scholars
Expanding the Cowboy family
by offering a comprehensive transition program
Opportunity Orange Scholars is designed for young adults between the ages of 18 and
26 with intellectual disability and do not meet OSU’s degree-seeking admission criteria.
Students admitted into the Opportunity Orange Scholars program can pursue a two-year,
non-degree academic certificate in Career and Community Studies. Students will be
fully immersed in the OSU experience, as they live and learn on campus. Opportunity
Orange Scholars is designated by the U.S. Department of Education as a comprehensive
transition and postsecondary education program.
Enriching the OSU community
by building on our land-grant mission and commitment to diversity
Opportunity Orange Scholars will enrich the OSU community and enhance the lives of
students with intellectual disability by promoting lifelong learning and advancing
knowledge and skills necessary for competitive employment and interdependent living.
The program will provide a college path for students who currently have no option
of attending college in Oklahoma due to a lack of programs available to meet their
support needs.
