The Summer Policy Institute (SPI) is an opportunity for students to network with top Oklahoma leaders and get immersed in the most important policy issues affecting Oklahoma. You don’t want to miss out on this amazing opportunity! Click here to learn more about the Institute and see agendas from previous years.

“SPI is a terrific opportunity to connect with the next generation of Oklahoma thinkers and policy writers. People from all fields come to this event to learn and share about the current state of Oklahoma Policies, and more importantly what we can do to change our policy to better suit who we are as a people. The speakers are great, knowledgeable, and fun! I love the OK policy team. Even if you don’t want to work in a policy position, this event is worth it for learning the landscape and understanding the root cause of Oklahoma’s issues.”
-Colleen McCarty, law student, University of Tulsa College of Law


You are eligible for SPI if you can answer YES to any ONE of these questions:

  • Are you currently enrolled as a graduate or an undergraduate student at an Oklahoma college or university who has completed at least 24 credits hours?
  • Did you graduate on December 31, 2018 or later from an Oklahoma college or university?
  • Are you attending an out-of-state university but went to high school in Oklahoma?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you are eligible to apply!

Other than that, we strive to ensure a very diverse group of SPI participants. The Institute includes students and recent graduates with many different majors, ethnicities, ages, and backgrounds. We encourage students to apply whether you're at a research university, a regional college, a community college, or a private school.

Program tuition is $375 for commuters or $450 for those staying in University of Tulsa housing. Full and partial financial assistance will be available to all students who need a scholarship to attend. No one will be denied a spot in the Institute due to inability to pay.
