            ANNUAL International Trade SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

WITOC supports local college students pursuing careers in international trade!

WITOC serves as more than an educational resource.  We are equally proud of our commitment to service through community involvement.  During the last ten years, with the generous help of our members and their guests, WITOC has awarded over $30,000 in educational scholarships.  Each May, WITOC awards a $2,000 scholarship to one or more ambitious and goal oriented students to assist them with a study abroad program to students attending local Orange County schools.  Money is raised through local donations, sponsorships by companies involved in international trade and through raffle sales during our monthly luncheon meetings.
