The OEA Foundation was established in 1964 to serve as the educational and charitable arm of the Omaha Education Association. The Foundation has, through the years, funded over ninety different scholarships annually.
Many of the scholarships are designated for specific high schools and winners are chosen by those high schools. This application is not for those scholarships. Please see your counselor for more information on the high school specific scholarships.
The scholarships listed on the next page are not designated for a specific high school and you must apply for them directly to the OEA Foundation.
