Scholarships

The Orchard Park Central School Alumni Organization currently administers four scholarships. The association’s scholarship program was initiated in 1998 as part of the school district’s Century of Excellence program.

  • Three scholarships are provided by the Orchard Park Central School Alumni Association. These are funded by your generous donations. Two scholarships are allocated for students pursuing college or university education. One scholarship is dedicated to a student pursuing community college or trade school further education.
  • The Elmer Handel Memorial Scholarship is awarded in honor of the former superintendent of schools. It is sponsored by his children, Millicent Handel Wilson and Geoffrey Handel.
