OSAI is an intensive 2-week residential school that provides professional training to artistically advanced Oklahoma high school students, including graduating seniors, in the visual, literary, and performing arts. All students who are accepted into OSAI attend on a full scholarship, and our goal is to make sure that every eligible student is aware of this unique program.
Winter break is the perfect opportunity for your students to get familiar with the audition requirements and begin preparing for their audition(s). Performing arts disciplines (acting, chorus, dance, and orchestra) will participate in a live recorded audition, while the remaining literary and visual arts disciplines (creative writing, drawing & painting, film & video, and photography) only need to upload their audition materials online. Students may audition for up to three (3) disciplines.
The audition requirements can be found by visiting this page, selecting a discipline, and downloading the corresponding Applicant Guide. Applications will open next week where students can schedule an audition or upload their materials.

American Legion Boys State & Girls State
Oklahoma Boys State
It’s a great opportunity for personal growth and learning. The experience in a mock, but realistic government exercise prepares the student to be a highly contributing adult citizen of our country. It’s also highly regarded by many colleges, universities, and sources for military scholarships that includes ROTC Scholarships and Military Academies.
For your information, there is a concurrent Girl’s State program, but it is managed, conducted and sponsored separately by the American Legion Auxiliary. More information is available at https://okgirlsstate.com/ .
This information is for Boys State only.
