Since 1999, the OCA-UPS® Gold Mountain Scholarship has supported first-generation students in their pursuit of higher education.
The title of this scholarship program calls back to a time when many immigrants looked upon America as a mountain of golden opportunities for themselves and their families. Awardees of the scholarship seek dreams of higher education, which are not only the dreams of the students but also of their parents and extended family. Since its initiation, the OCA-UPS® Gold Mountain Scholarship has provided over 160 scholarships to first-gen high school seniors. Since 2020, the OCA-UPS® Gold Mountain Scholarship has been extended to rising college seniors.
