About us
We prepare our students with the academic, financial, social and emotional support they need to be successful in life—beginning in middle school and continuing through high school, college and beyond. WHO WE SERVE College Success Foundation serves underrepresented students who often face systemic barriers to accessing and navigating college. We help students navigate these complex systems so that they may blaze their own trails of academic and career success. Our scholars include young people from low-income families, students of color, foster youth and first-generation college students. In 2022, we supported more than 20,000 students in middle school, high school and college. WHERE WE SERVE We partner with schools and school districts with high percentages of low-income students to increase the number of students going directly to college. We partner with colleges and universities across Washington state to provide on-campus and remote coaching to improve persistence and graduation rates.
