SCHOOL

Oakland Promise works to ensure

that every child in Oakland

graduates high school with the

expectations, resources and skills

to complete college and be

successful in the career of his or

her choice.

Kindergarten to College (K2C) is the

elementary school component of

Oakland Promise. Our goal is for each

elementary student in Oakland to think

of themselves as a college-bound

individual. Here's how we'll make it

happen:

COLLEGE SAVINGS

ACCOUNTS

Did you know that students with a college

savings account (CSA) of even less than $500

are four times more likely to graduate college

than a student without a CSA?

K2C supports families to open their own

savings account.

We want our children to go to the

university and graduate. It is wonderful

that many families have the opportunity to

participate, which means the progress of

our community.

COLLEGE GOING

CULTURE

K2C schools receive resources and

assistance to promote a college going

culture in classrooms and throughout the

school. K2C also organizes trips to local

colleges, like UC Berkeley.

EARLY COLLEGE

SCHOLARSHIP

Beginning in the 2016-17 school year, every

kindergartner in the Oakland public schools

(OUSD or charter-managed) will receive $100

in their Oakland Promise college fund. When

children have money set aside for college,

going to college becomes an expectation and

feels achievable.

COLLEGE SAVINGS

ACCOUNTS (CONT.)

K2C partners with my529 & Self-Help

Federal Credit Union to offer college

savings options for families.
