Orange County Promise: The Orange County Promise launched in 2018 to address the problem of low college completion rates among disadvantaged and first-generation college students. The purpose of this initiative is to provide additional, non-financial support to ensure higher college completion rates for OCCF scholarship recipients. OCCF partners with InsideTrack to provide coaching programs and tailored support to college students.

Custom Scholarship Programs: There are many reasons to decide to establish a scholarship fund. Scholarships can be created to memorialize a loved one, help disadvantaged students, recognize academic excellence, or reward community involvement. OCCF partners with Scholarship America to develop scholarship programs that reflect each donor’s personal goals and interest.
