The Annual OCC Foundation Scholarship Luncheon is hosted every Spring at the Orchard Ridge Campus to bring together scholarship donors and recipients to tell their stories, recognize generosity and celebrate accomplishment.

Oakland Community College "Golf for Scholarships" Outing is held each August. Course games and prizes combine with great golf and networking to produce a sold-out event each year. Proceeds from this event provide a minimum of twelve full-tuition scholarships each year.

Other events, such as the Great Lakes Great Wines Wine tasting Event, the Pontiac Pancake Breakfast, the Forensics Scholarship Tapas Party and music performances benefiting the COCC/Oaxaca Exchange Program are held throughout the year to raise money for students and programs throughout the college.
