For several years, the Will Rogers High School Community Foundation has funded college tours for seniors. A generous donation has provided three years of college tours. In the 2025-26 school year, students visited the University of Oklahoma, University of Tulsa, Oklahoma State University, Northeastern Oklahoma A & M, Oral Roberts University, University of Central Oklahoma, and Rogers State University, providing over 500 experiences on a college campus.
Eighty percent of the 2026 class were first-generation college students and 86% were socioeconomically disadvantaged. College and Career Coordinator Taylor Pride made efforts to improve the college visit experience by providing students with direct instructions and scaffolded questions for exchanges with college personnel. Jasairi said, “I learned there are many ways to pay for college.” Zabdi said, “You don’t have to be 100% sure of what you want to major in.”
This was one of the best experiences I have had throughout high school. It encouraged me even more to keep going.
Isled thanked the Foundation in a card signed by many of the students by saying, “This was one of the best experiences I have had throughout high school. It encouraged me even more to keep going.”
The Foundation considers this a valuable opportunity and experience for seniors and is thankful to our donors for making these trips possible.
