PORTLAND, Ore., July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- OnPoint Community Credit Union and the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) today announced OnPoint is the new title sponsor for Oregon high school state championships, as part of a five-year partnership agreement between OnPoint and the OSAA.
"Through our partnership with the OSAA, OnPoint will be able to have a deeper impact in the communities we serve and advance our commitment to financial education," said OnPoint President and CEO Rob Stuart. "The partnership is great for all Oregon high school students who benefit every day from the many OSAA activities that enrich their education. We're proud to be a small part of their educational journey."

- OnPoint will be the title sponsor of the OSAA Scholar Program, which recognizes all graduating seniors who have achieved a 3.5 or higher cumulative GPA and earned a varsity letter in an OSAA-sanctioned activity at any point in their high school career. New to the program are college grants awarded by OnPoint and the OSAA Foundation to six qualifying students.
- OnPoint will be the title sponsor of the OSAA Academic All-State Program, which recognizes the boys and girls team in each OSAA-sanctioned activity with the highest grade point average.
- Through donations, OnPoint will support the Student Assistance Program, which helps provide athletic gear to students in need. Since its inception, the program has helped an average of 1,146 students from 87 high schools annually.
The OSAA sponsors 118 state championships in 19 interscholastic activities including choir, dance/drill, football, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, volleyball, boys and girls cross country, boys and girls swimming, wrestling, cheerleading, baseball, softball, boys and girls track and field, boys and girls tennis, boys and girls golf, band, orchestra, solo music and speech.

"OnPoint's commitment will enable the OSAA to continue to provide lasting experiences for thousands of Oregon high school students. Given OnPoint's roots in education, celebrating student success in and out of the classroom was a natural fit. We look forward to working together to positively impact Oregon students, schools and communities."
OnPoint continues its commitment to strengthening local education by supporting students, schools and educators in a variety of ways, including the OnPoint Prize for Excellence in Education. OnPoint's partnership with the OSAA builds upon the credit union's longstanding commitment to education.
