Scholarships
Proceeds from the Byliner Awards help fund scholarships for Oklahoma women pursuing communication-related degrees. Recipients are selected based on aptitude, achievement and financial need. Every year, the Oklahoma City chapter of AWC awards between $5,000 and $8,000 in scholarships.
Scholarships are awarded at the AWC Bosses Breakfast in the Spring.
