OACRAO Scholarship History

Since the start of the scholarship in 1997, OACRAO has awarded nearly $50,000 to hardworking individuals throughout the state. To keep funds alive, the organization collects private donations and hosts a variety of fundraising events throughout the year and at the annual conference. Notably in 2023, the introduction of vendor sponsorship marked a significant milestone in reaching our fundraising goals. Looking to the years ahead, the organization aims to continue raising funds through innovative and diversified fundraising initiatives.
