2017 ANNUAL REPORT
Dear donors,
On behalf of our board, I would like to thank you for your outstanding financial support. Without
your generosity, Panhandle State Foundation would not be able to continue to provide financial
assistance to Panhandle State and its students.
Because the cost of a college education continues to rise, Panhandle State Foundation’s focus
remains on providing scholarships to needy and deserving students. For 2017-2018, we were able
to award over $425,000 in various forms of scholarships to OPSU students. If you could read the
thank you letters from our scholarship recipients, you would know the incredible impact these
scholarships are making on Panhandle State students. We are honored to continue to provide this
support through the Panhandle State Foundation Scholarship Program.
Panhandle State Foundation also handles many accounts for OPSU including the OPSU Housing
Fund, Shooting Sports Complex Fund, Football Fence Fund, the Walking Path Fund and approxi-
mately 50 student club or campus organization accounts. In addition, the Foundation paid for
goods and services on behalf of Panhandle State totaling nearly $300,000. Recently, Panhandle
State Foundation received the largest private donation to OPSU athletics in university history! Keep
an eye out on campus for the various athletic improvements planned. The Foundation also received
three grants this year. The first grant is used for scholarships to education students during their
semester of student teaching and as a grant to OPSU faculty who are engaged in professional
development. The second grant is used to fund events or projects on campus. Three applications
were funded this year: a concert, a play and library improvements. The final grant will be used
towards the purchase of a new smokehouse for the Firestone Meats Lab, which will allow better
preparation of students in modern curing and smoking procedures and more uniform products
available to customers.
Last year, the Panhandle State Foundation board showed its dedication and support of OPSU with a
$250,000 matching grant towards the renovation of the president’s house. It is a great pleasure to
announce the house remodel is nearly complete! We greatly appreciate our donor’s remarkable
support of this project and look forward to collaborating on the upcoming dorm renovation project
slated next in line in the campus housing renovation schedule.
Once again, I thank you for allowing Panhandle State Foundation the opportunity to assist
Panhandle State on its journey towards excellence. You, the donors, make progress through
knowledge attainable. As always, donations to Panhandle State Foundation are tax-deductible and
can be directed to the fund of your choice.
Sincerely,
Doris Looper, EdD
Executive Director
New scholarships
Dr. James A. Countryman Scholarship
The Dr. James A. Countryman Scholarship was established by donations from friends and family as
well as memorial donations. The endowed scholarship will be available beginning with the 2018-
2019 year. It will be open to an OPSU student who is a Junior or Senior with a minimum 3.5 GPA.
Applicants must be Pre-Vet majors planning to attend a veterinary medicine school after completion
of their bachelor’s degree. Financial need and community service will be considered during scholar-
ship selection.
Kenneth and Maxine Woodward Agricultural Scholarships
Kenneth and Maxine Woodward, of Texhoma, set up this endowment to fund four scholarships each
fall to OPSU students classified as seniors majoring in Animal Science, Ag Business, Agronomy and Ag
Education who maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Student activities, leadership, and participation in the
judging team will be considered during selection. The Kenneth and Maxine Woodward Agricultural
Scholarships will be open for application at the end of the year and the first four scholarships will be
awarded for the 2018-2019 year. Kenneth and Maxine are generous supporters of Panhandle State
and outstanding contributors to Panhandle State Foundation.

Oklahoma Panhandle State University, the Alumni
Association and Panhandle State Foundation are
sharing the expense of a new software database
program. This is just one of many ways the three
separate entities work together towards
a common goal.
Our Mission:
Panhandle State Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3
organization with the mission to aid Oklahoma Pan-
handle State University beyond the funding it receives
from the State of Oklahoma. It was founded in 1961
to assist OPSU and OPSU students. Panhandle State
Foundation continues to play a vital role in support-
ing the mission of OPSU to provide educational expe-
riences that are designed to enrich the personal lives
of students and to prepare them for roles in agricul-
ture, business, education, government and industry.
All donations are tax-deductible.

Oklahoma Panhandle State University
offering early college credit, master's degree
in agribusiness
Oklahoma Panhandle State University will launch a pilot
program next fall to give qualified students the chance to
graduate from high school with a college degree.
President Tim Faltyn said high school students who enroll in
the program will start as first-semester sophomores with two
courses and will continue earning college credits each spring,
summer and fall of high school for a total of 62 credits.
First master's program
Also coming to Oklahoma Panhandle State is the university's
first graduate degree program, a master's in agribusiness that is
being offered primarily online. Faltyn said OPSU graduates
about 100 agribusiness majors each year.
"Next up will be a master's degree in education," he said.
The renovation of the dorms is the next housing project and
probably the most anticipated! These renovations will have an
enormous impact on the student’s daily lives.
