The disruptions of the past year have knocked our lives off of their normal course. In spite of this, we continue to adapt to the challenges of our changing world.
Students continue to complete classes, earn credits toward their degrees, and stay focused on their goals. Many of them continue to need a helping hand along the way, and the Foundation and College continue to provide it. You and our dedicated scholarship donors and sponsors continue to supply the means to make that help possible.
So far this academic year, the Foundation has awarded more than 580 scholarships. These students will graduate as machinists, chefs, healthcare professionals, paralegals and much more. They will continue to enrich the community with the knowledge and experiences they gained at OCC for years to come. Those experiences include your support of their aspirations, and how it empowered them to continue through a global pandemic. The impact of a scholarship goes well beyond the individual who received it and the semester when it was awarded. Your act of generosity ripples out through family, friends and further, and continues in future acts of generosity from our grateful recipients.
Even though we cannot gather this year for a meal and conversation to show our gratitude, we continue to appreciate you and value your commitment. With your help, we will continue to provide needed assistance and encourage students to further their education and achieve their goals. As Foundation Board Chairperson and a scholarship donor, I too am continuing to support education for our students, ensuring a bright future for scholarship recipients and our whole community.
In the pages of this program booklet, you will find our active scholarships listed with the benefactors and recipients for the 2020-21 academic year. We continue to add new expendable scholarships each year, along with new endowments, which are noted in the booklet. Also included is a list of our Legacy Society members – donors who have provided for OCC in their estate plans. We are grateful for these ultimate gifts that continue the legacy of the donor beyond their lifetime.
Thank you for continuing to support student scholarships and successes. Wishing you and your families a better year for 2021.
By Richard Berkfield, Chair of the Foundation’s Board of Directors
