Welcome to Orange County Retired Educators Association

About OCREA
Orange County Retired Educators Association is a non-profit organization. We are an association of retired teachers and university professors affiliated to the Florida Retired Educators Association (FREA) and the National Retired Teachers Association. The Association was formed in 1958 and has grown from strength to strength in over 60 years.

-
The Florida Retired Educators Foundation Scholarship
-
The Ernest And Ruth Hawk Scholarship

Interested students can download the forms, complete them, and submit them for consideration.
