New Named Funds

Establish a Named Scholarship

Create and name a new expendable or endowed fund, designated to support the part of OCC most important to you.

  • Expendable funds begin at $2,000, and are typically awarded within one year. A fund at this level provides two students with a scholarship covering tuition and books for two classes each.

  • Endowed funds begin at $25,000, and are invested in perpetuity. Earnings and asset appreciation provide annual income for scholarships and other goals.
Employee Payroll Contributions

OCC Employees: Start a Payroll Deduction

OCC employees support students daily, both in and out of the classroom. A recurring, tax-deductible payroll gift is an easy way to enhance this impact and can be directed to a scholarship fund, the Student Success Fund, or the greatest need.
