In addition to the eight annual scholarships, the OACA is pleased to offer two additional scholarships: The Coach Dave Johnson Scholarship and the OACA Directors and Presidents Scholarship. Both of these scholarships are open to all graduating student-athletes. Parental membership with the OACA is not required.
The Coach Dave Johnson Scholarship is awarded to a college-bound student/athlete who has been highly impacted by their coach in order to reach a level of success, both on and off the field of play, that makes them a credit to their team, school and community. This scholarship is sponsored by Dave Dowling, South Salem HS graduate, in honor of Coach Johnson’s meaningful impact on his life as a young student/athlete as well as all the coaches in our state that are positively impacting kids daily. The scholarship winner can be eligible for a $2,500 scholarship. He or she would receive $1,000 for their first semester of school. If the scholarship winner meets certain requirements during their first semester, they become eligible to receive $1,500 for their second semester of school.

The OACA, along with support from Jennifer & Jarod Teeter, has created the OACA Directors and Presidents Scholarship to recognize a deserving student/athlete. This $1,000 scholarship is sponsored by former OACA directors and presidents who desire to “give back” in appreciation of the OACA.
Criteria:
- Outstanding character, sportsmanship and leadership – a student/athlete who truly stands out among his or her peers.
- Emphasis placed on student pursuing a career in education.
- Emphasis given to multi-sport athletes.
