The Army Signal Corps OCS
Association is a non-profit association. We conduct charitable
efforts to help fellow OCS grads and cadre in need, including their
families, children, grandchildren and other relatives. Our
primary effort centers around helping deserving children of
those who are members of our Association continue with their
college education. We do this through a scholarship program that
we administer.
Funds for this and other charity efforts come from dues and membership fees, the profits from our PX,
as well as donations from you, the public. If you are a former OCS grad, please
consider donating to what is in reality your cause. You will be helping the very
same people you served with. We accept donations in any amount. Those needy who
receive your help will be eternally grateful to you for your kindness.
Notes From The Scholarship Committee Chairman
The deadline for scholarship applications for 2018 will be July 31. Because it
takes time for us to process associated paperwork, we encourage you to submit
your application early. We will review the application packets received and
notify those selected for a scholarship as soon as possible. Awardees will be
required to contact us with information concerning their school’s point of
contact to receive the scholarship check. Once we have confirmed that
information, the check will be mailed for deposit in the student’s school
account. Once again, we are able to provide this bit of financial assistance
because of the generosity of so many of our members. All
donations of any amount are very welcome.
If you wish to donate to the
scholarship fund, send your donations to Richard Green, Secretary, at 190 SW
Wren Court, Lake City, FL 32025. You may add a donation to your membership dues
check or make it a separate check. Either way, please annotate on the check the
amount you are donating to the Scholarship Fund, as it is tax deductible. If you
wish to make a donation in the memory of or in honor of a friend or loved one,
please indicate such on your check and/or note to Richard. Remember, we accept
VISA, MasterCard, and American Express… and checks… and of course, even cash! God Bless you all and God Bless America.

A Short History Of Our Scholarship Program
We are proud to say that
over the last 10 years there have been 28 grants made to children
and grandchildren of Signal OCS grads and cadre, and we continue
to issue more each year. Each grant is
$1,000.
Our funds come primarily from donations. A
number of members have donated in memory of a loved one. Others
donate what they have, or what they can. Most donations range
from $5 to $100. Every dollar helps.
If you would like to help us make this year
