The Court Reporter Rural Service Grant Program aims to increase the availability of court reporters in rural Oklahoma courts by providing educational grants to court reporting schools for scholarships and related equipment. The program also funds stipends for qualified court reporters committed to working in rural counties. OBF COURT REPORTER EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP

Toni Swayze is a court reporting student at OSU-OKC and an OBF scholarship recipient. “My court reporting journey started a few months after I lost my job of 10 years. I dove right into school. The OBF scholarships lifted my spirits and renewed my motivation and drive. I look forward to joining the judicial process, thanks to the generosity of the OBF during my journey.”
