UCO, builders team up for scholarship
A new home under construction in Oklahoma City will help fund a new scholarship in the College of Business at the University of Central Oklahoma.
The builder, Two Structures Homes, has dubbed the project at 1444 NE 10 the Broncho House, with proceeds from the sale going toward the endowment of a scholarship for UCO real estate students. The home should be completed by October.

came from Jay Evans, who is a UCO alumnus and owner of Two Structures Homes, and David Chapman, a professor of finance.
“The Broncho House project is a way to bring awareness to students at UCO of career opportunities in the real estate field,” Evans said.
Each week, Two Structures p o s t s p o l l s o n i t s F a c e b o o k page to seek public opinion on features of the house, including paint colors, fixtures and doors. The public votes on three options with the winning option being used in the design of the house.
“We are grateful to have one of our alumni invest in UCO and real estate students,” Chapman said.
“This i s a great example of local industry partnering with higher education to benefit the state of Oklahoma.
“The Two Structures Broncho H o u s e p r o j e c t w i l l i mp a c t Oklahoma as a whole because our minor is the only one of its kind in the state and will impact future real estate professionals working right here in Oklahoma.”
