Mission: The ACCESS College Foundation inspires the hope in public school students that education and training after high school is attainable, supports them in achieving the requirements for program acceptance, guides them through the application process, assists them in gaining the funds needed to attend a postsecondary institution, provides advising and scholarship support while enrolled in school to ensure that they complete their certification or degree programs, and ultimately connects ACCESS Scholars to internship and job opportunities after graduation. The full range of programs and services offered by ACCESS include early awareness, student and parental advising, financial assistance, scholarship assistance, and career development. All services are available free of charge to public high school students and parents in South Hampton Roads Northampton County, and Western Tidewater regions in Virginia. (Less)
