Williams twins receive Whole Quest Scholarship

Jacie and Jalyn Williams, the 17-year-old twin daughters of Jason and Lora Williams, have been awarded an Oral Roberts University (ORU) Whole Quest Scholarship.

Since its debut in 2009, more than 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students have benefited from the Quest Whole Leader Scholarship Program at Oral Roberts University, which seeks to assist and recognize exceptional students who are on a quest for wholeness.

Recipients are committed to developing a healthy, character-driven lifestyle that sets the standard in society and enables them to thrive in life. Our students demonstrate spiritual integrity, personal resilience, intellectual pursuit, global engagement and bold vision.

Jacie and Jalyn will each receive $80,000 for four years or $20,000 annually.

They will be attending ORU full-time in the fall of 2023.

Jacie is pursuing a BSN degree, and after graduating, she plans to work as an RN while attending law school.

Jalyn is pursuing an accounting degree and plans to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA) to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

Both graduated with honors one year earlier from Epic Charter School and were valedictorians. While attending Epic, they completed 29 college hours at Oral Roberts University (ORU).

Both students are in the Gifted and Talented program, were inducted into the Junior and High School National Honor Society, are members of the Oklahoma Indian Student Honors Society (OISHS), and are members of the ORU’s Honor Program.

In 2022, both ladies competed and placed at the AAU Gymnastics National Championship in Springfield, Illinois. Jacie and Jalyn Williams appreciate the financial assistance from the Choctaw Nation while attending concurrently at ORU and for assisting with navigating additional resources through the Tribe.
