What We Do

Supporting Students. Strengthening Our Community.

The Olympic College Foundation partners with our community to expand access to education, support student success and strengthen the regional workforce. Each year, donor support translates directly into real opportunities for students — helping them stay enrolled, complete their programs and move forward with confidence.

Our Impact

Thanks to our donors, the Foundation provides critical funding across campus each year, including:

  • $600,000+ in scholarships to help students afford tuition, books and educational expenses
  • $650,000+ in direct campus support for programs, equipment and student services
  • Emergency funding and basic needs support to help students stay enrolled during times of financial hardship

These investments remove barriers, open doors, and create pathways to graduation and career success.

How We Support Students

Scholarships

College Program Support

Student Emergency Support

Faculty/Staff Grants

Scholarships We award more than 200 scholarships each year to students across a wide range of programs and backgrounds. For many, these awards are the difference between continuing their education or stopping out.

College Program Support
We invest in academic programs that prepare students for high-demand careers — including healthcare, skilled trades, and technical fields — ensuring students graduate with the skills our community needs.

Basic Needs & Emergency Support
Students can’t succeed if their basic needs aren’t met. The Foundation supports efforts like the campus food pantry and emergency funding to help students facing food insecurity, housing instability, or unexpected financial challenges.

Faculty & Campus Support
The Foundation also provides funding for instructional equipment, program innovation and faculty-led initiatives that enhance the student learning experience.

Why It Matters

Behind every dollar is a student working toward something better — a degree, a career, a fresh start.

Your support helps turn that potential into progress.

Together with our donors and community partners, we are expanding access, supporting achievement and creating lasting success for Olympic College students.
