OCU gives gift of education
Beginning in fall 2009, Oklahoma City University, a Methodist-affiliated university, will provide tuition costs for United Methodist ministers and their families who are from the Oklahoma United Methodist Conference and the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference, under appointment by the Rev. Robert Hayes Jr., bishop of both conferences.
Tuesday, Hayes and OCU President Tom McDaniel (pictured at left) made the announcement of the tuition waiver, which will be extended to the spouses and dependent children of ministers from the two conferences.
“OCU embraces the United Methodist tradition of scholarship and service and this is one way we can offer more students the opportunity to pursue a faith-based education that will prepare them for a lifetime of service,” McDaniel said in a prepared statement.
“Our Methodist clergy in Oklahoma make a tremendous difference in our community through servant leadership. We want their families to have the opportunity to study at a university that focuses on the same qualities as the United Methodist Church.”
