Beginning in March, we started our Workshop series in order to provide support and resources to further your Career Development. In light of the unprecedented challenges presented by COVID-19, we are still committed to providing relevant resources to support your Career Development.

Our April Workshop takes a deep dive into Virtual Interviewing. We provide tips on preparing for your video/phone interview, answering tough interview questions, and sending that following up email after you ace your interview.

Spring 2020 Quarter Scholar Doc Submission Canceled

Due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the COLA strikes, Oakland Promise has decided to suspend Spring 2020 Scholar Docs Submissions. This means that you are no longer required to submit Scholar Documents to receive your Spring 2020 Scholarship check. With all that is going on, we hope that releasing this burden will help you focus on your academics and wellbeing.

Instead, we will print your check regardless if you have submitted documents or not. To receive your Scholarship check, please fill out the Online Acceptance Form below by April 3rd.
