One Alfalfa County student is closer to funding his college tuition before graduating from high school. The Oklahoma 529 College Savings Plan (OCSP) kicked in more than $5,000 to Amber Green's son's college savings fund through its Pigskin Piggybank Sweepstakes. Braxton Buller, a junior at Timberlake High School in Helena, was randomly selected from more than 1,500 entries to win a $5,529 OCSP account with Timberlake School receiving the same amount. Pictured receiving their checks are Ryan Dayton, principal of Timberlake High School in Helena, and Braxton Buller, student and winner of scholarship.
