In preparation of the upcoming Financial Aid season (including the all important FAFSA form!), The Ed Fund’s College Access Program encourages students and their families to visit our community-based College Access Centers and take advantage of our free services, including include financial aid and scholarship application information and preparation.
The College Access Program addresses Mayor Nutter’s two important education goals – to reduce the high school dropout rate by 50% within 5-7 years and to double the number of Philadelphians with baccalaureate degrees within 5-10 years.
