The 2010 Orange Scholars Scholarship Program began on January 1, 2010 and ended on March 1, 2010. Winners will be posted June 2010.

The Homer Fund seeks to truly make a positive impact in our associates’ lives. The Fund recognizes how expensive post-secondary education can be, and decided in 2006 to branch out and seek other ways to show its support of our associates. Thus, the Orange Scholars Scholarship Program was created.

• Orange Scholars offers scholarships to associates' children based on financial need, academic performance, as well as community involvement and leadership. Financial need is given the highest consideration.
• Since 2006, 2,563 students have received scholarships totaling $5 million to help cover the expense of attending college.
• In 2008, the number of scholarships awarded was increased from 500 to 1,000 annually. The amount of each scholarship awarded also increased from $1,000 to $2,500 each.*
• Studies show that college graduates have greater workplace productivity, more optimistic views of the future, improved quality of life for their children and more hobbies and leisure activities.
