February is National Black History Month - a time to honor and acknowledge the legacy and achievements of Black people in the United States. At Oakland Promise, we are constantly reminded of Oakland's rich cultural and political Black history. This month, and every month, we recognize that Black history is American History, and the U.S. owes much of its cultural richness especially to the social, cultural, economic, and political contributions of Black people in this country.
February is Financial Aid Awareness Month
The Advising Team is here to help you navigate your financial aid. If you have any questions about specific financial aid situations, now is the time to get them answered. The March 2nd deadline for FAFSA and DREAM Act is fast approaching!
