The Orkan Olgac Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to outstanding students at the University of Connecticut. Established in honor of Orkan’s remarkable academic achievements and character, this scholarship seeks to recognize individuals who embody the same dedication, curiosity, and excellence that he exemplified.
We are deeply honored to identify and support these exceptional qualities in others, and it is our hope that this scholarship will continue to uplift and inspire students in perpetuity. Through this ongoing commitment, we strive to ensure that Orkan’s legacy not only endures but continues to make a meaningful impact on future generations.
