To Whom it May Concern,
This is to advise you of a college scholarship that we award annually to a graduating high school senior in the State of Oklahoma that meets our eligibility criteria. We plan to award at least one scholarship this spring in the amount of $2500.00 (or more in our discretion) to be used by the recipient for tuition, costs and fees at an accredited institution for higher education in the state of Oklahoma during the 2010-2011 school year. We may also elect to award more than one scholarship in amount(s) that will be determined by the Foundation in its sole discretion.
For background, my husband Jason died on December 15, 2005 at the age of 40 years old, after suffering a sudden heart attack. At the time of his death, Jason was a partner in the law firm of Collins, Zorn and Wagner in Oklahoma City and his legal practice was dedicated primarily to representing the Association of County Commissioners of Oklahoma (ACCO), and its member counties throughout the state. In 2007, the Foundation was established (organized under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) to honor Jason and carry on his legacy.
The Foundation’s primary focus is to raise funds and award college scholarships to eligible and qualified students in the state of Oklahoma. The Foundation will award college scholarships to graduating high school seniors who reside in counties (such as yours) that Jason represented in his legal practice. Qualifying and eligible students will be required to submit an application and essay to the Foundation. The Foundation will award the scholarships to students with a financial need and who, in the Foundation’s view, most exemplify the characteristics Jason had in life: integrity, intelligence and kindness.
This year’s Scholarship Application and associated Rules and Regulations can be pulled from the following website: http://www.okacco.com/wagner. This is to request that you please pull and post this information in your high school for any seniors who might wish to apply for our scholarship.
Thank you in advance for your assistance in distributing this information.
Most Sincerely,
Amy Wagner Collins
