What Does It Mean
Posse?
Providing Opportunities for Scholastic & Sports Excellence
Oklahoma State Athletics' top priority is giving our student-athletes the resources they need to reach their full potential, both in competition and in the classroom. As a member of the POSSE, you are a GAME CHANGER. Annual donations via the POSSE provide essential support to more than 500 Cowboy and Cowgirl student-athletes, helping them strive for athletic and academic success. POSSE members are advocates, ambassadors and investors in our program. Thanks to loyal and true supporters at all giving levels, OSU student-athletes can dream big!
The STAR Fund incentivizes academic success as the means for eligible student-athletes to receive a financial reward stemming from the landmark Supreme Court decision in the Alston v. NCAA case. The Alston case has opened the door for student-athletes to receive additional monetary support toward the cost of their education, and the Athletic Department is committed to providing all scholarship student-athletes the chance to earn supplemental payments based on their academic performance while enrolled at OSU.
