Edward C. Joullian III Scholarship
As chairman of the State Fair Board of Directors for ten years, Edward C. Joullian III honorably served the state of Oklahoma. As a founder of the partnership between the Teacher of the Year program and the Oklahoma State Fair, he has shown his dedication to the education of the children of this great state. The Edward C. Joullian III Scholarship was established by the State Fair Board to encourage students to continue their education, recognize the State Teacher of the Year’s school district, and celebrate the contributions of Mr. Joullian to the lives of Oklahoma’s young people. In 1998, the $5,000 scholarship was unveiled during the State Teacher of the Year recognition ceremony and is awarded annually during the Oklahoma Youth Exposition to a graduating senior from the Teacher of the Year’s school district. It is awarded based upon a student’s overall scholastic, leadership, and civic potential. | Previous Winners (pdf) |
