Support student success and make a donation today to the NOCE Scholarship Program

North Orange Continuing Education offers a variety of scholarships to students on an annual basis. The NOCE Scholarship Program is part of the Community College Foundation of North Orange County (CCFONOC), informally known as the NOCCCD Foundation.

Established in 1987, the CCFONOC is a charitable, not-for-profit, tax-exempt organization under provisions of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as a public charity, according to Section 509(a)(1) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code. The foundation’s purpose is to assist in the achievement and maintenance of superior educational and community programs of the North Orange County Community College District. In 2008, the bylaws were expanded to include a standing committee to administer scholarship opportunities for North Orange Continuing Education students.

Why do NOCE Students need donations?

Even if NOCE classes are tuition-free, donations will go toward helping students to purchase books or supplies in order to complete their classes, to transition and pay for initial costs at college, or simply to help pay for other costs related to education.

Donations will go toward NOCE scholarships. These scholarships are the lifeline that our students need in order to continue their education and pursue increased college and job opportunities!
