Hope all is well. I wanted to share details about our upcoming Latino Youth Leadership Conference that will be held at OCC. Our hope is to inform students about recent changes OCC has made to their enrollment services that directly impacts individuals without a social security number. Changes will benefit all individuals even if they have not graduated from an American high school. In addition, OCC has completed the internal process that will allow applicants to apply for foundation scholarships and grants since the FAFSA requirement was removed.
These achievements have taken a lot of work and perseverance from our youth, we are so grateful for this opportunity. The following are the key points that will be discussed at the event alongside OCC specialists:
1. A social security number isn’t required to attend OCC: How to apply without a social security number?
2. Regular tuition fee applies to all high school students and adults ages 18+ regardless of immigration status
3. High school graduates without a social security number are eligible to apply for grants and scholarships starting May 30. How do I apply?
4. Payment plans available to all registered students. Do I qualify for a payment plan without a social security number?
5. Current OCC students will present about their journey in the college application process as a First Gen without a social security number.
6. Application is free
Attached is the flyer in English and Spanish with registration information. Would it be possible to send out to collaborating agencies and OPC families, in particular our Spanish speaking families? All are welcome to attend.
Not sure if you need this but I’ve sent the following on social media:
