“I have financially supported myself since my teenage years, and I am solely responsible for the costs associated with my education. Receiving an OCtech Foundation scholarship provided me with a sense of relief that I didn’t have to worry financially about school.”
Bobby Smith
Your generosity makes all these scholarships possible.
