We’re excited to introduce the winner of the 2025 Tutoring4Less Scholarship. Braden Bledsoe, a standout student, athlete, and future educator who’s ready to make waves in the world!
Braden just graduated as valedictorian from Deer Creek-Lamont High School, boasting a 4.113 weighted GPA and college credits already under his belt from Northern Oklahoma College. He’s been accepted to Northwestern Oklahoma State University, where he’ll study education with dreams of becoming a high school math teacher and basketball coach.
More Than a Scholar: A Leader, Advocate, and All-Around Rockstar
Braden’s achievements go far beyond academics. He was a varsity basketball team captain leading DCLA to the state tournament, a class officer, and an active FFA member. Outside of school, he runs his own cattle operation and is a passionate community volunteer.
Braden was born with hearing loss and uses a cochlear implant and hearing aid. He’s an advocate for students with disabilities and a powerful example of resilience and leadership. Currently, he’s working hard on the road to earn money for college—his drive and dedication are simply unmatched.
Supporting the Next Generation of Leaders and Educators
At Tutoring4Less, we believe every student deserves the chance to thrive. We created our scholarship to support those who not only work hard but also give back, overcome challenges, and aim to inspire others—just like Braden.
Congratulations, Braden! Your story inspires us, and we’re so proud to be a small part of your journey. We can’t wait to see all that you’ll accomplish in college and beyond!
