Our Mission

Project SOAR is a federally funded Student Support Services program under the TRIO initiative designed to promote educational access for underrepresented students. The program provides a supportive educational environment where OSU-OKC students can come for assistance in meeting their unique academic, personal, career, and social needs. The program’s mission is to help students achieve their educational goal, whether that is certification, an associate’s degree, or transferring to a four-year university.
