Imagine American Foundation

For more than 24 years, the ImagineAmerica Foundation – formerly the Career College Foundation – has been serving the career college community. The OAF provides awards, scholarships, sponsorship and development, research support, and promotion of the benefits of career colleges to the general public. The Foundation has grown to support more than 500 career college members across the United States and Porto Rico. Imagine America Foundation participants in turn serve the nearly 2 million career college students who are the backbone of the technical trade industry in America.

Take a few minutes to learn about our programs, awards, endowment sponsorship, the history of career colleges and our research archives. If you want information about furthering the mission of career college education, you will find it on the Imagine America Foundation web site.Scholarship Programs

Through OAF, students can find award and college scholarship information, college financial aid information, and research different careers. Recent graduates and seniors in high school, military personnel, and adult learners can apply for scholarships and awards through a number of programs:

* Imagine America Scholarship Program

Research Archives

Since OAF was established in 1982, educational research has been an integral component. The OAF Research Archives contain publications, articles and other materials catalogued in our archives since 1989. The goal of the archives is to capture and preserve research that might otherwise be lost. OAF provides free and full access to these materials.
Center for Excellence in Education

The Center for Excellence in Education (CE) offers comprehensive development programs for career college faculty and management personnel. Our comprehensive programs have been developed in consultation with career college executives. The ultimate goal of these programs is to increase employee and organizational performance while enhancing student success.
