Orange County Chinese-American Chamber of Commerce Foundation (‘OCCACCF’) is committed to help our community by reaching out to those students who have succeeded both inside and outside of the classroom- but may not be able to attend college without financial assistance. We believe that investing in students who are leaders will result in positive and sustainable communities in the future. OCCACCF has been providing scholarships for 21 years to those promising students of Chinese descent to continue their education. Due to OCCACCF’s successful effort at raising funds for the scholarship program, 4 year commitments of $5,000 per year (for a total of $20,000) are being made from now on to those “OCCACC Scholars” showing financial need and academic achievement.
