CONNECTING AND INSPIRING THE WOMEN OF OSU THROUGH PHILANTHROPY
WOMEN FOR OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY is a diverse group of visionary women who share a passion for
inspiring leadership and financial support to Oklahoma State University. Women for OSU envisions a culture of giving
and service that acknowledges the significant impact women have at OSU and inspires others to positively shape the
future of the university through philanthropy and engagement.
Sponsored by the Oklahoma State University Foundation, Women for OSU is led by a working council of women with
an established family history of giving to the university. These women serve throughout the year on focused teams
that support and advance the strategic direction of the organization.
Our goal is to increase the number of female donors to OSU as well as increase their total giving through the Women
for OSU Endowed Scholarship, a prestigious award that recognizes academics, philanthropic and volunteer activities
among OSU’s students. Funds for this endowment are generated through private donations and sponsorships from
events, which allow students to become stronger leaders and educated philanthropists.
