Section 610:25-21-1 - Purpose

The Heartland Scholarship Program was established on April 28, 1995, by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education in the aftermath of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. The bombing took the lives of 168 individuals and injured more than 400. Many young children perished in the Federal Building day care center. For the children in the Federal Building day care center who survived and for dependent children of individuals killed as a result of the April 19, 1995, bombing, the Heartland Scholarship Program was established. The program consists of two funds:

(1) The Heart of the Heartland Fund which is funded from state revenues generated from sales of the Heart of the Heartland license tags and

(2) The Heartland Fund which is funded from private, corporate, civic, religious and other governmental agency donations.
