<p>I don't suppose anybody on here knows anything about the Stocker Scholarship?</p>
<p>I don't know anything about this scholarship but I was wondering what you knew about it? I tried to search for the Stocker Scholarship but couldn't find a thing.</p>
<p>My H and I loved OU, loved the campus and the town.</p>
<p>deb922 - I sent you a PM.</p>
<p>For others, Stocker is an invitational scholarship competition for engineering. It appears they give these to 30 students/year.</p>
<p>I was wondering what the competition entails. Anybody have a clue?</p>
<p>Just in case anybody ever does a search for "Stocker Scholars" here's the scoop. </p>
<p>My son attended the competition where they had to build a bridge given what he laughingly described as, "ridiculous supplies", lol, in teams. They were evaluated for leadership, team work, and creative ideas. </p>
<p>Out of 100 kids chosen to compete they give out about 30 of these scholarships. Basically it is a small dollar scholarship ($1250/year) that is renewable based not only on GPA (which was high, maybe 3.4 - I've forgotten) but subjective stuff like their involvement in the Engineering Ambassador program, and other engineering clubs, professional associations, co-ops, etc. </p>
<p>My son did win one, but has not chosen a college yet. He has received a lot of money from OU (in addition to Stockers, two Gateway scholarships and the freshman R&B discount) and I find it very tempting from many viewpoints, although I have no idea what he is thinking so far.</p>
<p>Sounds very much like OM, doesn't it! </p>
<p>Congrats to your S, sounds like OU really wants him. It will be interesting where he ends up.</p>
