Educational Foundation
The Educational Foundation was established in 1987 as a not-for-profit corporation. Funds donated to the Foundation are used for academic equipment, scholarships and The Distinguished Lecture series. Contributions for academic equipment not only help the college to maintain its traditional standard of academic excellence but also enable us to keep up with the ever-changing world of technology.
Scholarships are also provided by donations to the Educational Foundation and are critical to students being able to fulfill their academic and career goals. Through the generosity of donors, the Foundation awards over $100,000 per year in financial assistance. The Distinguished Lecture Series is a fund-raising venture that gives something back in the form of academic programming to the community.
The Educational Foundation is administered by Orange County Community College's Office of Institutional Advancement. All expenditures made by the Educational Foundation must be voted on by the Educational Foundation Board of Directors and have the approval of the President of Orange County Community College and the College's Board of Trustees.
