Mission
COLLEGE ACCESS FAIRFAX IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION CREATED ON JULY 27, 2004 DEDICATED TO GUIDING FAIFAX COUNTY VIRGINIA PARENTS AND STUDENTS THROUGH THE HIGHER EDUCATION AND FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE APPLICATION PROCESS. CAF ALSO MAINTAINS A SCHOLARSHIP FUND TO ASSIST PARENTS AND STUDENTS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION.
Program accomplishments
- ASSIST STUDENTS WITH HIGHER EDUCATION BY OFFERING SCHOLARSHIPS. A COMMITTEE COMPRISED OF INDIVIDUALS WORKING IN THE FIELD OF COLLEGE ACCESS AND DONORS ARE INVITED TO REVIEW SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS VIA AN ON-LINE PLATFORM (SMARTER SELECT). A RUBRIC FOR EACH SCHOLARSHIP HAS BEEN CREATED TO SCORE VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF THE APPLICATION. REVIEWERS ARE ASKED NOT TO SCORE ANY APPLICANT WHERE THERE MAY BE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND SIGN A STATEMENT ATTESTING TO THAT REQUIREMENT.Expenses $116,646 · grants $96,850
- EDUCATE AND GUIDE PARENTS AND STUDENTS THROUGH THE FINANCIAL AID PROCESS, INCLUDING COMPLETING FEDERAL FORMS, SEARCHING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS, INTERPRETING STUDENT AID REPORTS AND OTHER SERVICES. SERVICES ARE PROVIDED THROUGH PARENT WORKSHOPS AND BY CAF'S FINANCIAL AID CHAMPIONS AT SELECTED LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS, ALL FREE OF CHARGE. EACH CHAMPION SAW APPROXIMATELY 250 STUDENTS. WORKSHOPS WERE ATTENDED BY OVER 2,000 PARENTS AND STUDENTS. GROUP PRESENTATIONS WERE MADE TO PARENTS AND ONE-ON-ONE ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS. WE REINSTITUTED OUR IN-PERSON FAFSA COMPLETION EVENTS, HOLDING 15 THIS YEAR. WHILE THERE WERE FEWER PROBLEMS WITH THE FAFSA THAN THE YEAR BEFORE, CONSIDERABLE PROBLEMS STILL EXISTED. FINANCIAL AID CHAMPIONS: WE CONTINUED WITH FOUR FINANCIAL AID CHAMPIONS THIS YEAR. THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL OF FRUSTRATION OF THE CONTINUING PLATFORM ISSUES CAUSED MANY FAMILIES TO NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE FORM. WE CONTINUED TO OFFER VIRTUAL MEETINGS FOR PARENTS AND STUDENTS FROM ANY SCHOOL IN FAIRFAX COUNTY. THIS YEAR WERE ABLE TO RE-ASSIGN CHAMPIONS TO INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS WE ARE NOW IN WEST POTOMAC, MT. VERNON, EDISON, HAYFIELD, MOUNTAIN VIEW, LEWIS, CHANTILLY, SOUTH LAKES, WESTFIELD, WEST SPRINGFIELD, ANNANDALE, CENTREVILLE, ROBINSON AND HERNDON. CHAMPIONS WORKED IN BOTH THEIR RESPECTIVE SCHOOLS AND AT OUR FAFSA COMPLETION EVENTS. "PAYING FOR COLLEGE": COLLEGE ACCESS FAIRFAX MAINTAINED THE "PAYING FOR COLLEGE" PROGRAMS, INCLUDING THE, SCHOLARSHIP 101 AND FAFSA LINE BY LINE PROGRAMS. ALL PROGRAMS WERE PROVIDED VIRTUALLY. THIS YEAR WE CONTINUED OUR "NEW" PROGRAM OF SPEAKING TO STUDENTS IN BOTH CPP, AVID AND PERSONAL FINANCE CLASSES. OVER 1,500 STUDENTS ATTENDED OUR STUDENT PRESENTATIONS AND OVER 1,500 PARENTS ATTENDED PRESENTATIONS. OVER 29 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SEMINARS WERE HELD, WITH OVER 4,000 PARENTS AND/OR STUDENTS ATTENDED. OUTLOOK: THESE ARE SIGNATURE PROGRAMS FOR COLLEGE ACCESS FAIRFAX, AND WE ANTICIPATE RUNNING THE PROGRAM AT AS MANY SCHOOLS AS POSSIBLE. "MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMS": AGAIN, WE WERE UNABLE TO OFFER THESE PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH THE FAFSA.Expenses $28,177
- IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VA529 PLAN, EACH YEAR 15-30 10TH GRADE STUDENTS AT EDISON HIGH SCHOOL ARE SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SOAR PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM WORKS WITH STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY FOR FREE AND REDUCED PRICE MEALS TO ENSURE THEY HAVE INFORMATION TO PREPARE THEM TO APPLY FOR COLLEGE. FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE PROGRAM IN BOTH 10TH AND 11TH GRADE, THE STUDENTS ARE AWARDED $500 EACH YEAR IN SCHOLARSHIP MONEY AND AN ADDITIONAL $1000 FOR THEIR SENIOR YEAR.Expenses $2,245
