Student Services A-Z
This program focuses on the value of a college education as the best way to prepare for a career pathway and achieve independence. Great Expectations works with enrolled students to ensure their success in community college and beyond, connecting them to community resources, scholarship opportunities and other support. Students can pursue an associate degree, get workforce training and/or transfer to a four-year college—often for free!
Great Expectations helps young adults - those who are or were recently affiliated with the Virginia Foster Care System - transition to college. More than 500 children in the Virginia foster care system age out each year. Without social or family support, foster care children experience significant challenges living on their own. However, with access to education, foster care youth can find satisfying, well-paying jobs
