FEBRUARY UNCF NORTHERN OHIO INSIDER
Getting Northern Ohio Students to and through College.
CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH WITH UNCF
As we enter into Black History Month this February, we are encouraged by the achievements and growth taking place in the African American community here in Northern Ohio. We are assured that there is a legacy of greatness unfolding within our young people, and are committed to nurturing and sharing those successes.

This month, join UNCF as we highlight some of our distinguished alumni, honor some of our staunchest supporters and share relevant information and resources to ensure that Education Matters and is a viable option for any student wanting to further their education.
 
Let's shatter stereotypes, breakdown barriers and find ways to applaud success together!

Thank you,
UNCF Northern Ohio Team
