Christian Engineer Scholars

Click here to see our CES estimator which compares the CES scholarship to OC's PASS scholarship.

Mission: To encourage the brightest students to use their gifts in service to God as Christian engineers.

The Christian Engineer Scholars (CES) Program at Oklahoma Christian University is the premier program for Christians pursuing an engineering degree.

More than 200 of the brightest engineering students in the country already have studied engineering through this program that emphasizes Christian ethics, service and engineering excellence. Now the program comes with an even better scholarship and more integration of faith and learning. We want you to be in the next group of Christians who join the CES community.
