Description
The Lawton Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Oklahoma City Community Foundation (OCCF), brings together donor- and organization-established scholarship funds benefiting Lawton-area students. These permanent endowment funds support higher education and career training, with some administered directly by partner organizations.
The Great Plains – Jim Nisbett Scholarship Fund supports students bound for Great Plains Technology Center in Southwest Oklahoma. It encourages continued education after high school, development of marketable skills, completion of career education, and successful entry into the workforce. Seven other funds are available through the United States Field Artillery Association Foundation (USFAA). These emphasize academic potential for higher education, personal character and responsibility, and the benefit financial assistance would provide toward a student’s educational goals.
