The All-Oklahoma Academic Team Program provides statewide recognition to outstanding two-year college students. To be eligible, students must be nominated by their college president to the All-USA Academic Team. Nominees must be eligible to graduate during the 2020-2021 academic year and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5. Medallions and certificates were mailed to honorees.

Oklahoma is one of thirty-five states participating in the State Academic Team Program. The State Academic Teams were introduced in 1994. The State Academic Teams are a division of the Academic All-American Team for Community, Technical and Junior College Students, an international program sponsored annually by Phi Theta Kappa, USA TODAY and the American Association of Community Colleges.

Concurrent SSC student Brent White received a $1000 President’s Tuition Waiver from the OACC. White will graduate from Dale High School later this month and will attend SSC in the fall. Recipients of the waiver had to be a graduating high school senior and have a minimum 3.5 grade point average.
