Welcome to the OSA Foundation
We Inspire the Next Generation of Leaders and Innovators
The next generation of great scientists and leaders are among us today. These passionate and talented young people live and study around the world. Some have the resources and support needed to succeed, but many do not.
The OSA Foundation (OSAF) is a charitable organization that carries out philanthropic programs on behalf of the Optical Society of America (OSA) to provide awards, honors, scholarships, and travel grants to recognize the contributions of leaders in the field and support the next generation of scientists and engineers.
