Since 1964, Ocean County College has provided affordable, high-quality education and cultural enrichment to our community. The OCC Foundation has supported this mission by awarding over $23.5 million in scholarships and program funding, helping students access tuition assistance, travel experiences, vocational training, early college programs, and more.
While our impact has been significant, there is much more to do. The landscape of higher education continues to evolve right before our eyes.
A college degree, vocational certificate and opportunities to expand one’s personal knowledge base has never been more important in ensuring continued individual and professional success in today’s world.
The Ocean County College Foundation’s Legacy Campaign is the perfect vehicle to make a transformational gift that will help ensure the
success of our future leaders.
It is our hope that you, too will partner with the Ocean County College Foundation in this endeavor to reach our goal of $25 million in support of the students at Ocean County College.
Plan Your Legacy
Ocean County College is an institution that uses its resources carefully and prudently, yet also plans for growth and development so we are ready to meet the ever-evolving needs of the community.
You can help us achieve this goal by including the Ocean County College Foundation in your overall financial and estate plan. A planned gift can have immediate benefits for you and can help the Foundation prepare tomorrow’s students for the world.
By including the OCC Foundation in your financial or estate plans, you can make a lasting impact while potentially receiving tax benefits. Your planned gift can support students now and in the future, while aligning with your personal financial goals.
The need to leave a legacy is our spiritual need to have a sense of meaning, purpose, personal congruence, and contribution.
