Scholarships for All Walks of Life

As the state’s largest independent scholarship provider, OCCF saw students from all walks of life with varying career interests. Even with such an extensive program, our team knew there were students we were missing. There needed to be more opportunities for people with disabilities, adult learners and people seeking to complete certificate programs.

The OCCF Nontraditional Scholarship Program is available to students with disabilities and adult learners who wish to further their education.
