College Graduates/Alumni

Congratulations, Access “Alum!”

If you participated in the Access College Foundation program by working with your Access advisor in high school and/or by receiving an Access Last Dollar Scholarship, and have successfully attained a postsecondary education, we consider you alumni of the Access College Foundation.  

As you know, the Access College Foundation is a non-profit organization designed to assist students attending participating public high schools in the South Hampton Roads area in furthering their education beyond high school.

Founded in 1988, the program is supported by local foundations, businesses, and by individuals who believe that every student who graduates from high school should have the opportunity to attend college.  Each year, Access advisors help thousands of students in South Hampton Roads enroll in college and obtain approximately $300 million in financial aid and scholarship money.

We always like to hear from our Alumni – click on the following link so you can tell us your story!  We are also pleased to offer volunteer positions with the Access College Foundation, as well as the opportunity to “Pay it forward” by making a contribution to the very organization that helped you achieve your educational goals.
