For over 10 years, OCA has provided assistance to deserving APA students to achieve the dream of a college education. OCA recognizes the lack of resources and access to quality education for underserved APA students. We award our scholarships based on factors such as achievement and financial need.

In 2009, OCA partnered with Nordstrom in a Tshirt campaign benefiting OCA's scholarship fund. Nordstrom sold special edition Tshirts designed by Anna Sui and Koi Suwannagate with all after-cost proceeds benefiting OCA's Scholarship Fund. The 2009 campaign raised over $27,000 and allowed OCA to strengthen our scholarship  programs and offer chapter-based scholarships. The first chapter scholarship that OCA National will help to administer is the OCA-Greater Chicago Scholarship.

OCA is partnering with Nordstrom again in 2010 for May APA Heritage Month. To view and purchase this year's Tshirt designed by Phillip Lim, click here.
