The Financial Aid Office of Chabot College stands with our Black students, classified professionals, faculty, administrators and members of our community in condemning racial injustice, institutionalized racism, and inequalities for all marginalized communities.

Racism and discrimination of any kind have no place in our communities or on our campus.  Our office is taking time to reflect on our own roles and opportunities to further our awareness of racial injustices and inequities, our own unconscious biases, and what we can do to affect positive change.

The Financial Aid Office is here for our Black students, and wants to provide them with available resources to support their holistic needs, in addition to financial aid support. We want students to have the financial resources to succeed in their education, and know that they are valued members of our community. We aspire to be a place on campus and for the community where all people are not simply welcomed, but appreciated and celebrated.

To support all of our students during this time, college resources and community resources are available.

Black lives matter. Your lives matter.

The Financial Aid Office at Chabot College stands with our Asian, Asian-American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students, classified professionals, faculty, administrators and members of our community. We condemn hate, violence and targeted attacks against people of Asian-descent, especially in the wake of the global pandemic.

AAPI communities have recently and throughout history experienced exclusion, violence and institutionalized oppression that continue today as we have seen with the recent murders of 6 women of Asian-descent in Georgia. We send our condolences to the friends and loved ones of the victims of these horrific attacks across the country and in the Bay Area. Anti-Asian attacks have no place in our communities and at our campus. 

Our office is committed to supporting, honoring and respecting the lives and experiences of AAPI communities. We will reflect on our own biases, practices and actions that may cause harm to AAPI communities on our campus and beyond. We stand in solidarity with and offer our unconditional support to AAPI community members at Chabot College. We encourage everyone to become familiar with and share the resources made available by Chabot's Asian Pacific Islander Education Association (APIEA)
