The Foundation for Orange County Public Schools runs one online application that matches graduating OCPS seniors to dozens of individual scholarship funds, so you only have to apply once. Awards from the individual funds generally range from $1,000 to $3,500, and a few also include in-kind services on top of the cash award. Eligibility, GPA requirements, and focus areas vary by fund, and some are limited to a specific school or area of the district. A written essay is a standard part of the application.
