The Grants Administration Office at Ocean County College is pivotal in securing and managing external funding to enhance the institution's educational offerings and support services. The office facilitates programs addressing diverse student needs and promoting academic success by identifying and obtaining federal, state, and private grants. In addition, the Grants Administration Department supports and oversees all institutional grants in the pre-award and post-award process. All funded grants can be located on the Grants Administration external landing page.

The Grants Administration Department oversees the Ocean County Achievement Center (OCAC), includes the Title II Adult Basic Education, Youth Employment Activities, and Center for Adult Transitions grants. These programs offer free services to Ocean County residents, including high school equivalency test preparation, English language acquisition classes, workforce skills development, family literacy events, and services for adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.  The OCAC ensures participants access essential resources such as tutoring, counseling, and case management to support their educational and career goals.

Additionally, the Grants Administration Department oversees the Barnegat Bay Partnership, a National Estuary program fully funded through Federal and State grants.
