Your schools website or fin aid office may have a list of all the scholarships you can apply for. Just don't look for them for Criminal Justice majors, you won't find anything. There are several small college towns in that state if you drive through slow enough they will throw that major in your car with you.

The official Oklahoma planning for college website is: www.OKCollegeStart.org There you will find information about scholarship opportunities available to students at Oklahoma colleges and universities. Also, the school that you'll be attending may have scholarship opportunities available to its students, I would encourage you to contact the school's financial aid office for more information (or check out their website).
