I felt the love for this campus from the first phone call. When you’re invited to be a part of the Ranger Family, you’ll have the confidence of having a great experience to learn and grow. Because of this and affordability, I chose a university that would not put me in a financial burden. I will be paying off any debt I have on my bachelor’s degree this year and will be graduating with my master’s next May.

We’ll be there to help you!

All high school seniors who attend Ranger Preview will receive a $600 scholarship to attend Northwestern Oklahoma State University! Ask us about it!

Dr. Janet CunninghamUniversity President

Ethan Sacket, Aline, OK, SeniorBusiness AdmininistrationSGA PresidentBy becoming involved in campus activities, students boost skills that they might not have known they possessed. I encourage students to make as many connections as possible in as many settings throughout the college years and to get involved from the start. NWOSU is a terrific place to find community and commitment to prepare for a promising future.

Choosing to become a Ranger is one of the best decisions you will make. Whether you get involved in one of our many student organizations, join an athletic program, or participate in Fine Arts ensembles, you will gain experiences that will last a lifetime. I hope you will plan a visit to see our campus and experience first-hand what Northwestern has to offer. I’m confident that you will discover a home away from home while you’re here. Ride, Rangers, Ride!

Northwestern provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

It is so important to apply for scholarships as they ease the stress of the financial burden during a time that can already cause students stress.

At first moving to Alva sounded pretty scary, but after one visit on campus and around the town , I couldn’t have felt more welcomed to be somewhere. The reason I love Northwestern is because this small community strives to be involved with everything on campus whether it be in sporting events or activities the campus is holding. It is great when you’re in one of your classes and after class you can really communicate with your professors. Being able to be friends with your professor makes it more enjoyable to be here. Being able to become friends with everyone makes this school and town make you feel at home.

&

I chose Northwestern because of the amazing scholarship opportunities that were offered and the small class sizes. I have made long-lasting friendships that I am very grateful for.
