Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

ADVISORY SERVICES FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATIONAL PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE APPLICATION AND FINANCIAL AID PROCESSES, AND CAREER ASSISTANCE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS COMPLETING THEIR CERTIFICATION DEGREE OR PROGRAMS. THESE SERVICES WERE PROVIDED BOTH IN PERSON AND VIRTUALLY/REMOTELY.

Activities or mission (Part I)

THE ACCESS COLLEGE FOUNDATION HELPS STUDENTS IN THE PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS OF S.HAMPTON ROADS, AND N. HAMPTON CO. GO TO COLLEGE OR OTHER POSTSECONDARY TRAINING.

  • HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM AND COLLEGE SUCCESS PROGRAM: THE FOUNDATION PROVIDED POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION PLANNING TO MORE THAN 4,391 HIGH SCHOOL JUNIORS, SENIORS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS DURING 2023 AND 4,793 IN 2022. OF THOSE STUDENTS SERVED IN 2023, 3,199 FAMILIES (73%), WERE VERIFIED TO BE LOW-INCOME AND IN 2022, 3,392 (71%) WERE VERIFIED TO BE LOW-INCOME. POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION PLANNING INCLUDES SCHOOL-BASED AND VIRTUAL ADVISORY SERVICES FOR: COLLEGE AND POSTSECONDARY TRAINING PREPARATION AND SUCCESS, COLLEGE APPLICATION/ TESTING FEE PAYMENTS, GUIDANCE THROUGH THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS, COLLEGE TOURS TO PROSPECTIVE CAMPUSES, AND THE LEVERAGING OF FINANCIAL AID, SCHOLARSHIPS, AND GRANTS NEEDED TO ATTEND COLLEGE OR OTHER POSTSECONDARY TRAINING. EACH HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR AND SENIOR COMPLETES AN "ACCESS SERVICES APPLICATION" AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR FOR OUR USE IN DETERMINING THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES TO RECEIVE FEE WAIVERS AND FEE PAYMENTS MADE BY ACCESS ON THEIR BEHALF. THIS APPLICATION ALSO DEFINES THEIR FAMILY'S LEVEL OF POVERTY, BASED ON FEDERAL GUIDEINES. WHEN FINANCIAL AID FORMS (FAFSAS) ARE FILED FOR THE SENIORS AND OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS, THE FAMILY SIZE AND INCOME INFORMATION ARE CAPTURED ON THE COMPLETED "FAFSA CONSULTATION FORMUPDATED IN OUR STUDENT DATABASE. THIS INFORMATION WAS USED TO VERIFY THAT 73% OF THE STUDENTS IN 2023 AND 71% OF THE STUDENTS IN 2022 BELONGED TO A FAMILY WHOSE ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME WAS NOT IN EXCESS OF 300% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY GUIDELINES. MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM: WITH OUR FOUNDATION'S PRIMARY TARGET BEING STUDENTS FROM LOW-INCOME FAMILIES WHO MAY NOT OTHERWISE HAVE ACCESS, WE BEGIN LAYING THE GROUNDWORK OF EARLY COLLEGE AWARENESS/READINESS ACTIVITIES TO MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE 7TH AND 8TH GRADES AND THEN FOLLOW THEM INTO HIGH SCHOOL IN THE 9TH AND 10TH GRADES. MUCH OF THIS WORK IS DONE IN GROUP SETTINGS AND STUDENTS IN THESE GRADE LEVELS DO NOT DISCLOSE THEIR FAMILY'S FINANCIAL INFORMATION IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SERVICES. WE DO KNOW THAT THE SCHOOLS THESE STUDENTS ATTEND HAVE A MAJORITY POPULATION RECEIVING FREE- OR REDUCED- LUNCH. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE OUR MISSION IS TO SERVE LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, WE KNOW THAT IN THE PROCESS OF PROVIDING POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION PLANNING TO THESE LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, OTHER STUDENTS MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION OR BENEFIT FROM ACTIVITIES PROVIDED IN GROUP SETTINGS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J

  • 3 · Compensation committee
