The deadline to apply for the President’s Leadership Class (PLC) at Northwestern Oklahoma State University has been extended to March 12.

Because of numerous inclement weather days causing schools to close and students missing school because of illness, the deadline was extended so incoming high school seniors planning on attending Northwestern this fall would have more time to submit their applications.

Students selected for this award will receive up to $2,750 in scholarship funds for their freshman year at Northwestern, plus be treated to an all-expense paid trip to a major U.S. city with Dr. Bo Hannaford, university president, and other PLC members. The selected students also will be able to enroll for their fall semester classes early.

An online form as well as a printed application can be found at www.nwosu.edu/plc and may be hand-delivered or mailed as long as they meet the deadline. The online form will be emailed directly to the Office of Recruitment.

Students should include a seven-semester transcript and SAT/ACT scores with the application and must meet all standard admission requirements to Northwestern.

Applications must be accompanied by one letter of recommendation from a high school teacher, high school principal, high school counselor or other faculty member or a member of the administration.

All applicants must submit a scholarship application along with the PLC application or have one on file in the Northwestern Financial Aid and Scholarship Office before the PLC application deadline. Scholarship application forms for incoming freshmen are found at www.nwosu.edu/paying-for-college/scholarships.   

Selected finalists will be notified by mid-March and contacted by phone and/or mail about dates and times for an interview, which will be on March 27, 28, 31 and April 1.

All application materials should be mailed or delivered to Tylar Thompson, recruitment coordinator, Northwestern Oklahoma State University Office of Recruitment, 709 Oklahoma Blvd., Alva, OK 73717. Email questions to recruit@nwosu.edu or call (580) 327-8546.
