OCJAAF initiated the scholarship program so that our youth will be encouraged to perform well on the football field and more importantly to perform well in the classroom. By the organization investing more people, time, and money toward the student side of our student-athlete, we will be helping our young people to be better prepared as they enter high school, college, and ultimately the workforce. While in our youth football program our greatest importance is to challenge the youth to make them well-rounded and assets to society. We must take the challenge to encourage our youth to keep their grades up, maintain high classroom attendance, and to get involved in school and community activities. They will carry this foundation throughout their lives. In OCJAAF there is the commitment to encourage scholastic excellence. The leadership of the OCJAAF staff and the executive council is encouraging everyone to put their support behind this noble cause.
