Scholarships - $600,000
Most Cameron students identify financial assistance as their primary need. To ensure that students are given the educational opportunities they so rightly deserve, it is vital that Cameron continue to offer more and better scholarship opportunities.
These scholarships will help keep graduates from Southwest Oklahoma high schools close to home and provide them with an educational experience preparing them to enter the workforce. An investment in the education of these students is an investment in the future of the Southwest Oklahoma economy.

Endowed Faculty Positions - $650,000
Since their inception in the 1980's, Cameron's endowed faculty positions have enhanced the quality of student learning at the university. As the result of generous gifts by donors, the commitment of challenge grants from the McCasland Foundation, and the matching funds provided by the State of Oklahoma, Cameron has more endowed faculty positions than any other regional university in the state.
Endowed positions create a unique teaching and learning environment by helping to fund worthwhile student and faculty research, travel, internships, and classroom activities that would not otherwise be possible.
The Cameron University: Changing Lives campaign will raise $650,000 in gifts to create new endowed faculty positions. When matched with available funds, these gifts will total $1.6 million in new monies which will create two endowed chairs and 12 new endowed lectureships.
