The Windy City AOC Scholarship Award Program

The Windy City Association of Old Crows (WC-AOC) provides scholarships to Chicago-area college students studying in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM). The scholarship is administered by the Windy City AOC Educational Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization.
