The 2024 OCA-NJ Chapter Scholarship Applications are now closed!
OCA New Jersey Chapter is pleased to announce our Scholarship Program for 2024. We continue to offer 2 different scholarship programs. The first is our traditional Essay Scholarship Award featuring 6 named scholarships ranging from $3,000 to $500, and the second is a creative artistic endeavor dedicated to the Spirit of Corky Lee in the amount of $1,500. The application and letter of recommendation requirement is the same for both awards; however, the submission and judging criteria is different.
Please note that these scholarships are available to all college bound high school seniors of Asian American descent who are full time residents of the state of New Jersey. We encourage all eligible students to apply, especially those with greatest financial need. Parental consent, a letter of recommendation, and an official copy of high school transcripts is required. Deadline to apply is April 21, 2024.
