Educational Foundation

Tri-Cities ROP Educational Foundation was established in 1999 to offer financial assistance and support to Tri-Cities Regional Occupational Program on its mission to provide and maintain the highest quality career-technical education available to the students of the communities they serve.

The distinguished Educational Foundation Board is comprised of seven members who live and/or work in Whittier, Pico Rivera, Santa Fe Springs, and surrounding communities, and who voluntarily serve and advocate for the advancement and achievements of student education and career success.

The Foundation Board meets quarterly at the ROP Center and hosts the annual Evening of Excellence event in late spring.

Help us raise $7,000 to fund scholarships for students!
