Through #EOF and other opportunity programs, let’s continue to good work and the #GoodTrouble that our students receive an accessible, equitable education, and work towards all Americans receiving equal protection under the law.
Let’s continue to support our EOF scholars who are also DACA recipients and advocate for them, ensuring them a fair, equitable postsecondary education in NJ. Learn more about DREAMers and DACA at bit.ly/EOFDREAMers2021
#EOFPANJ supports our #EOF scholars who are DREAMers. The Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy is an executive order issued by President Barack Obama on June 15, 2012, and #NewJersey is one state that offers state #FinancialAid to DREAMers.
Celebrating the 244th anniversary of the adoption of the American flag on June 14, 1777. Let us continue to work for the promise of the flag - equality & justice for all Americans.

“A thoughtful mind … sees not only the flag but the nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, (s)he reads chiefly in the flag the government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the nation that sets it forth.” (Henry Ward Beecher)
