Clouse Scholarship

It is with great pride that we announce a scholarship opportunity for your student(s) as the end of the 2018-19 Destination Imagination year draws to an end. One of our Affiliate Challenge Masters, Chrissy Clouse, was instrumental in promoting the DI program in our State, and for years she ran our Instant Challenges with an enthusiasm and a love for young people that will never be forgotten. Since her untimely death in 2012, we have joined her family in honoring her memory each spring at our tournament with the presentation of a scholarship in her name. Since Chrissy’s love was Instant Challenge, not much “prep time” is given to the applicants. Pick up a questionnaire at the Check-in Table upon arrival at the tournament on the 30th of March. Follow the guidelines below, and don’t forget to register as an OHDI Alumnus on www.ohdi.org. The OKC, Inc. Board of Directors has established the following guidelines for the OKC Scholarship Award:
