Oroville Scholarship Foundation (OSF)
What is Oroville Scholarship Foundation?
Oroville Scholarship Foundation is locally operated and supported, non-profit 501(c)3, tax-exempt scholarship foundation. Operated by an all volunteer Board of Directors, the purpose of Oroville Scholarship Foundation is to expand student access to educational opportunities beyond high school through the support, assistance and involvement of our community.
Why is OSF so important?
Oroville Scholarship Foundation endeavors to financially assist Oroville High School graduates in their pursuit of higher education. Rising costs are closing doors to higher education for many individuals. Through OSF, we have the opportunity to make a strong, collective statement about the importance of education after high school. We can provide both encouragement and financial support for our local students.
