Many students benefit from our school-based College Access services. If you do not attend a College Access school, you can still benefit from our services at one of our three community-based College Access Centers. Located in North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, and the Gallery Shopping Mall in Center City, these College Access Centers serve adult and school-aged college-bound individuals from across the city. At each Center, expertly trained staff members commit to helping make college a reality for the more than 6,000 individuals each year.
Available services include:
- Internet connected computer labs to search for college, career, and financial aid opportunities
- Personalized college advising, college prep, and career development workshops
- College, financial aid, and scholarship resource materials, brochures, applications, and catalogues
- SAT, ACT and other standardized testing materials and guidance
- Guidance in the financial aid and scholarship process
- Referrals to GED and Adult Diploma Programs
Bilingual support and materials are available to support your success. Visit with our coordinators at one of our College Access Centers to learn how you can become one of the thousands of Philadelphians on you way to college.
