Ozarks' Elite is a magazine, e-newsletter, website, and a television travel show all inspired by and operated by a group of hard working college students who are sharp, talented, amibitious, energetic, motivated, and good looking! We also have a sense of humor.

The entire idea behind Ozarks Elite is to provide collegiate opportunities to students who have financial need that is not met by grants and other traditional college funding sources. The only option for students that aren't top level athletes, or great test takers and have unmet financial needs for tuition, books, and housing is to take out thousands of dollars in student loans each semester.

This leaves the average graduate $40,000 plus in debt at time of graduation and with no job. This is not a smart way to better your life.

Ozarks Elite founder Christopher Allred, a current full time student and full time worker as well, has found a way in which we can gain real world experience in our intended career field, help pay for our own education while giving back to our community and region by promoting tourism and commerce in the Ozarks to an area in and around our home that nearly 50,000,000 people live in. Yes, according to year 2000 census data 50 MILLION people live with-in 500 miles of the heart of the Ozarks.

Here you can find loads of information on the magazine and Ozarks Elite sponsored events. As we convert the website to be geared more as an online and multi-platform magazine ya'all shouldn't worry. We will transfer the informational data and other Ozarks resources to two other websites in the future. Those branch websites are www.ozarksvacationinfo.com and www.discountozarks.com.

Ozarks Elite will still feature content on the resorts, entertainment, and attractions of Branson, Mo. The bed & breakfasts and chapels of Eureka Springs, AR, Grand Lake and Har-Ber Village in Grove, OK. The camping and fishing at Lake Tenkiller and Ft. Gibson Lakes in Oklahoma. Bella Vista's vacation homes and golfing, Beaver Lake, hiking and the deer hunting in Northwest Arkansas, The Buffalo National River, Elk & Turkey hunting and camping around Harrison.AR along with Greers Ferry Lake and Heber Springs, AR. We'll also fill you in on Bull Shoals & Norfork Lakes over by Mountain Home, AR. Roaring River in Southwest Missouri, Lake of the Ozarks and Trumann Reservoir in Central Missouri and all the fun and nightlife in Osage Beach, MO. There's all the forests and adventures in Southeast Missouri, and don't forget about Little Egypt in Southern Illinois, and the Little Balkans in Southeast Kansas!

Look for new features such as a searchable directory, podcasts of audio interviews, online videos of elite locales and attractions throughout the Ozarks and maybe just a smidge of great places just outside the Ozarks as well!
