Redlands Foundation to Host Annual Dollars for Scholars Fundraiser

ACADEMICS

Few colleges the size of Redlands have such a wide range of academic programs — not to mention the levels of excellence. Redlands houses a chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, the largest Honors Society for two-year colleges.

Undergraduates at Redlands get to be involved in conducting research. Plus, all classes are taught by the full professor: there are no graduate-student teachers.

ADMISSIONS

We want you to have a positive and productive college experience right from the start! You can use our convenient online scheduler to arrange a campus tour.

Redlands welcomes many students who are the first in their family to pursue college, as well as students from around the world. Our staff is ready to help you throughout the process, sorting out any confusion about the process and any specific needs a student has.

ABOUT

Redlands is a unique place. Maybe that's why students feel so comfortable being themselves as students here: comfortable and confident pursuing their unique interests.

Redlands students feel like they are on familiar footing — with the opportunity to go anywhere! With programs from nursing to agricultural studies to the arts and sciences, Redlands students have gone on to excel across Oklahoma and beyond.

Our campus and our classes are sized right: you won't just be a face in the crowd at Redlands. Come and have the full college experience!

Paying for Redlands

A college education at Redlands costs less than the Oklahoma state average for public institutions (based on cost per credit hour). For students planning to attain a four-year degree, completing the first two at Redlands can save you thousands.

Figuring out the process of paying for college can be intimidating, especially in households where parents haven't gone themselves. We make it easy.

Scholarships play a vital role in making college a reality for many high school students, and the Redlands Community College Foundation is committed to providing that opportunity by raising funds through its popular Dollars for Scholars event.

The ninth annual “Dollars for Scholars” event will take place beginning at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3, at the Palace Event Center, 2310 N. Banner Rd., El Reno. Tickets are $30 per person and include a meal and $10 free play. Dinner will be sponsored by Fellers, and a cash bar will be available. News 9’s Lacie Lowry will serve as emcee for the evening.

“Each year the Redlands Community College Foundation provides several scholarship opportunities to our students,” said Redlands President Jack Bryant. “We are grateful that so many continue to support the Foundation’s scholarship programs, and we appreciate the efforts of the Foundation to organize this wonderful event.”

The event will feature a Casino Night theme with sponsorship opportunities. For $1,000, Black Chip Sponsors receive a corporate table, 16 tickets, logo representation in the event promotion and a social media shout out; for $500, Blue Chip Sponsors receive eight tickets, logo representation in the event promotion, and a social media shout out; and for $350, Red Chip Sponsors receive four tickets, logo representation in the event promotion and a social media shout out.

Donation opportunities are also available for individuals, families and businesses for the silent and live auctions. Money raised at the event will support scholarships and programs administered by the Redlands Community College Foundation.
