For five decades, the Western Oklahoma State College Foundation has been a critical partner for WOSC. Established in 1974 as a nonprofit corporation, the foundation promotes and fosters WOSC’s educational and cultural interests through endowments, loans, scholarships and other types of financial assistance. Since 1991, Executive Secretary Larry Duffy has provided instrumental leadership, which has enabled the foundation’s total assets to reach more than $7 million. Duffy’s passion for education, coupled with tremendous support from alumni and friends, has provided over $4 million in institutional support and scholarships to WOSC and its students.
