With the end of the year rapidly approaching, it is a good time to make a donation to the OCWS Scholarship Fund. Currently, the OCWS scholarship fund has awarded over $946,000 since 1981. We hope reach $1 million in our 50th anniversary in 2026. This is just a friendly reminder that the OCWS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) and contributions to our scholarship fund are tax deductible. (But please check with your tax expert). There are several ways to donate:
- Mail a check – Complete your check using the same instructions as above, and mail it to the OCWS office at OCWS P.O. Box 11059 Costa Mesa, CA 92627 Attn: Scholarship Fund A donation letter will be sent to you.
- Donate Online – Logon to your account at ocws.org and go to the scholarship donation page: ocws.org/product/scholarship-donations/
