Oakland Promise Scholarship Program: The Oakland Promise Scholarship Program is now available for graduating seniors from Oakland district or charter high schools who plan to attend a postsecondary institution—whether it’s a four-year college, a two-year community college, or a Career and Technical Education (CTE) program—right after high school.

Students awarded the Oakland Promise Scholarship will receive funds ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on their postsecondary pathway. But this scholarship is more than just financial support—it’s an entry into our College Completion Program, where scholars gain ongoing guidance and resources throughout their postsecondary journey.  Link to OP Scholarship application: scholarships.oakland.promise.org
