Direct Support for Students

COCC Bobcat Scholarship

The COCC Bobcat Scholarship provides financial support to students pursuing a degree or certificate at COCC. Scholarships help students develop new skills, earn technical certificates, complete associate degrees and prepare to continue their undergraduate education at a university. For many students, a scholarship can be the deciding factor in whether they attend college at all. By easing the burden of tuition, textbooks and other expenses, scholarships make higher education more accessible and help students focus on achieving their goals.

Beyond financial assistance, scholarships offer something equally meaningful: the knowledge that someone believes in a student’s potential and is willing to invest in their future. A scholarship can turn an educational dream into reality, opening doors to new opportunities and brighter futures for students, their families and their communities.

COCC Student Relief Fund

The COCC Student Relief Fund provides financial assistance to students facing unexpected hardships that threaten their well-being and academic success. Many COCC students experience housing and food insecurity and lack the financial resources or safety nets to navigate challenging circumstances. Donations help cover essential needs such as childcare, rent, food, tuition and other emergency expenses, easing financial burdens and helping students stay in school and continue working toward their goals.

COCC First-Generation Scholarship

The COCC First-Generation Scholarship provides financial support to students who are the first in their immediate family to pursue higher education by earning a certificate or degree. For many students, a scholarship can help make college possible by easing the financial burden of pursuing an education. Your support helps first-generation students access new opportunities, achieve their educational goals and build brighter futures for themselves and their families.
