Safety & Energy Efficiency Education

We provide teachers and school leaders energy education materials that are aligned with core academic standards, such as English Language Arts (ELA) standards, as well as science and health standards. In addition to providing academic content, these materials also convey important safety awareness messaging that shows students and families how to recognize, avoid and safely respond to utility-related incidents.

Positive Energy Scholars
Since launching the program in 2018, we’ve awarded 15 scholarships – totaling $900,000 – to high school seniors who commit to attending college in Oklahoma or Arkansas. We annually award three $60,000 scholarships. Recipients are often first-generation college students, and the scholarship relieves a significant financial burden for families for whom college might otherwise be unattainable. The OG&E Positive Energy Scholarship application will be open from December 1, 2023 to February 15, 2024.

Supporting Teachers

Through our Positive Energy Teacher Grants, we provide dollar-for-dollar donations for teachers seeking funds for classroom projects, books, educational kits, games and lab equipment to support Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering and Math (STEM) education in our service area. We offer matching funds to public schools where a majority of students come from low-income households.

Bilingual and Diversity Teacher Pipeline Program
We energize the lives of Oklahoma City Public School employees by funding the OKCPS Foundation’s Bilingual and Diversity Teacher Pipeline Program. This initiative gives OKCPS paraprofessionals the chance to finish college and earn their teaching certificate—with no debt—while staying employed full time. The program is creating more diverse and inclusive classrooms by providing opportunities for teachers from underrepresented communities.
