Why give to the OCC Foundation?
Our students take on tough challenges every day, and our goal is to help reduce some of those barriers. When you give, you help champion accessible, affordable higher education for our students.
Through annual fundraising, donations, events, and other philanthropic support provided by individuals and organizations like you, over $1 million each year goes towards student scholarships, academic and personal support, college readiness initiatives, and career success.

Foundation News
Michael and Janelle Ancillotti support students through the OCC Foundation, giving $10,000 to those most in need of financial support both inside and outside the classroom. "If OCC had not been flexible in giving me a chance to follow my passion and guide me along the way, I don't know where I would be. The decision to give back was simple. I hope it helps current and future students achieve their dreams like I have done."

Student Spotlight: Nando Guzman
Onondaga Community College turned out to be a great place for Fernando "Nando" Guzman to figure out what career he wanted to pursue. He started in the Nursing degree program, switched to Mathematics & Science, and discovered he enjoyed math. That led him to an Engineering elective.
