At the heart of all Northwestern traditions is the homecoming event. The Alva Community, Northwestern Alumni, current students,  faculty and staff, as well as prospective students and bands from surrounding areas join in celebrating the Ranger family. Homecoming events such as the Miss Cinderella Pageant for high school senior females, the homecoming parade, band, parade float competitions, Ranger Royalty, and more are all funded strictly through the purchase of Northwestern’s annual themed homecoming button.

The annual Homecoming Celebration for Northwestern Oklahoma State University in Alva brings alumni and visitors to town each spring during football season. Personnel from Northwestern and leaders in the community join forces to plan the celebration months in advance.

Each year's homecoming seeks to honor the traditions of the past and the heritage of Northwest Oklahoma, offering entertainment features that are continued from year to year, but seeking to make each year's schedule unique. Many of those working on homecoming have been involved in its production for several years; others are newcomers to the project this year. All work together to make it a success and a source of pride to everyone in this part of the state.

 Homecoming Buttons

Funds from the sale of Northwestern’s Homecoming Buttons are the main source of income for Homecoming.

The button is only $10 and provides entrance to the Miss Cinderella Pageant competition and Talent Night, the football game, as well as discounts and other incentives from a list of Alva merchants during the week of homecoming; it’s more than a $38 value! Each homecoming button is numbered and has a chance to win $500 in Alva Chamber Bucks. The winning button will be drawn during the homecoming football game, and the drawn number must be present to win.

 Financial Aid FAQs


 A few questions and answers about Financial Aid: 

Do I have to include my parent's information on the FAFSA?

There are 13 questions on the FAFSA that determine whether a student is “independent” or “dependent.” If you can answer any one question “Yes” and have the documentation to verify the answer, you are “independent” and can skip questions about your parent’s income and assets.

Can I work during the break between semesters?

Any work performed by a student during breaks must be approved in advance by the Financial Aid Office
