Retired Educators Foundation of Orange County The leadership of Orange County Retired Educators Association (OCREA) formed a nonprofit foundation to manage funds received from the sale of property that was purchased to house retired teachers. The interest, after expenses have been paid, is used for scholarships. The Foundation has identified three non-renewable types of scholarships: ​ Academic Scholarships for Orange County Public School (OCPS) graduating seniors. Technical Scholarships for students from Orange Technical College. Educators Scholarship for an OCPS teacher working on a graduate degree. The number of scholarships given, and the dollar amount is dependent on the interest generated from the funds in the Foundation account. ​ This scholarship program is managed by an OCREA Committee. It was named for Ernest and Ruth Hawk, long-time local promoters of teaching scholarships. The goal is to support young people who wish to become teachers. The recipient of the local Florida Retired Educators Foundation nomination will also receive this one-time-only scholarship of $1,000. Monies to fund the scholarship are raised from the Little Red School House donations and the sale of used books.

In turn, they elect their own officers.
