The initiative is funded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation, launched to entice “a diverse group of talented professionals across multiple industries to relocate and be a part of the existing growth happening in Tulsa.”

Interested applicants must be at least 18 years old, be eligible to work in the U.S. and have full-time remote employment or be self-employed outside Oklahoma. Hopefuls must also be able to relocate to the Southwestern city within the next six months.
