Community Action Project of Tulsa County (CAPTC)

Community Action Project of Tulsa County (CAPTC) is continuing its program by partnering with Tulsa Public Schools and Oklahoma State University – Tulsa.

The project provides assistance on preparing for college and enrolling in Oklahoma’s Promise to students and families from five high schools – East Central, Central, Nathan Hale, Will Rogers and Daniel Webster. The project utilizes freshman orientation, sporting events and parent/teacher conferences to distribute college preparation materials. This year, a new team has been formed to increase the level of services available to students and parents.

Team members are now the first point of contact for all of CAPTC’s financial services programs, including Oklahoma’s Promise enrollment assistance. In addition, an outreach coordinator makes presentations during classes, participates in meetings and events with students and counselors, and offers phone assistance to aid with the completion of applications and help answer parents’ questions. The subgrant also funds college campus tours and career planning events.

CAPTC distributes information to all Tulsa Public Schools in order to promote free tax-preparation assistance in conjunction with Oklahoma’s Promise enrollment.
