Welcome
Access to education is a fundamental civil rights
issue. As the U.S. economy demands more and more
of its workforce, it is incumbent upon us to increase
the number of young people getting postsecondary
degrees and certificates. And to do this equitably, we
must support underserved students in poverty.
It is an undisputed fact that student poverty adversely affects student
achievement. And generational poverty exacerbates the issue. People
in poverty tend to stay poor and have low levels of formal education
generation after generation.
Our children’s future should not depend on the income bracket into which
they are born. At the College Success Foundation (CSF), we have a deep
passion for broadening college access for underserved youth, supporting
them with the necessary tools and skills to complete high school and college
and giving them the same chance to fulfill their potential as children from
higher income brackets.
As you will see throughout our report, CSF relies heavily on the philanthropy
of individuals and on partners in the business, education, government and
nonprofit communities to fuel our work.
I am proud to be part of an organization that has been a leader over the
past 14 years in improving college access for thousands of underrepresented
students on both the east and west coasts. On behalf of our scholars and
staff, I extend our heartfelt thanks for your commitment and support in the
past, as well as your continued help in the future.
Please join us in empowering underserved youth with the gift of education
and opportunity so that all young people, regardless of the circumstances
into which they were born, have the same chance to succeed and experience
the American dream.
Warmest regards,
Yolanda Watson Spiva, Ph.D.

underserved, low-income students to finish high
school, graduate from college and succeed in life.

Support underserved, low-income and firstgeneration students to high school completion.

We serve students with low-to-moderate academic performance, as

College Success Foundation 2013/2014 Report to the Community
Our strategy
The College Success Foundation is distinctive because it offers direct
services in addition to scholarships to students. Comprehensive supports
make a big difference to student success.
Our supports are “deep-dive” in specific districts, providing broad services for high
schools and their feeder middle schools to help ensure that our students graduate
from high school prepared to apply for and succeed in college. Our advisors work in
the school as advocates for our students.
CSF is in schools or school districts that typically fit a common profile.
Our integrated system of supports addresses the critical transition points from middle
to high school, ninth to tenth grade, high school to college and college to career,
where students typically encounter difficulties and often stop out or drop out.
We support our scholars in the areas where it will have the most impact—
• academically
•socially
•financially
•emotionally
> District profile:
• Densely populated.
• High proportion of
students of color.
• Higher levels of

• High school

need of improvement.
• Lower percentage

Early Awareness and
Engagement
In today’s world, students need to stay ahead of
the curve. They need to keep their options open
and keep doors from closing before it is too late
to walk through them. CSF provides support as
early as seventh grade so we are able to build
awareness of college and career choices.
Advisors and coaches work directly in the schools
to create a college-going mindset. With a personal
advocate in the school building, students have a
resource near them to help follow through with
needed action. Students attend learning institutes
and career academies and visit college campuses.
Our middle school programs include the Higher
Education Readiness Opportunity, more commonly
known as HERO, and AmeriCorps College and
Career Coaches for seventh and eighth grade
students.

Finding a job after college can be a challenge,

opportunities to network and make connections
with business professionals to ease the transition.
CSF has an active alumni program, offering postgraduation support in the areas of leadership
development, graduate/continuing education,
civic and community engagement and career
development.
CSF supports its college students by providing
lectures, workshops, panels, professional
networking opportunities and leadership roles
and activities. Alumni learn how to prepare
for graduate and continuing education. They
give back to their hometowns and current
communities, particularly through school or
campus-based volunteering. CSF Alumni Relations
offers opportunities to share stories and advocate
for education at events. CSF also promotes job and

for and succeed in the workplace.

Dollars matter. Scholarships
create hope for low-income,
first-generation students
by removing financial
barriers. The fewer barriers
to success students have,
the more likely they are
to complete college and
graduate.
CSF scholarships are coupled with our wraparound supports, such as mentoring and advising,
to keep CSF Scholars well-supported academically,
socially, emotionally and financially. This unique
CSF combination is the cornerstone of the CSF
model for success.
Scholarships administered by CSF span the
spectrum from private philanthropy to corporate
philanthropy to public-private partnerships.
CSF scholarship administration services are “bestin-class” and include application design and
development, scholar selection and awarding,
disbursement of funds, fundraising and direct
student support services.

Significant change can occur when a statewide network

The College Bound Scholarship is an early promise
scholarship in Washington state intended to improve
high school graduation and college enrollment rates
for low-income students.
The Washington College Access Network (WCAN)
offers a way for small networks across the state to
“grow” college access and completion programs in their
hometowns. As an advocate of capacity-building, CSF
administers the Washington College Access Network
(WCAN).
WCAN collaborates with existing college-access
providers, community-based organizations and resources
to provide members with professional development,
networking and other support so they can help more
underserved students reach their college goals and
succeed in life.
The role of CSF is to mobilize all 282 school districts
statewide to sign-up and support College Bound
students. Both the Washington Student Achievement
Council (WSAC) and CSF work together with the K-12
system, nonprofit organizations and college-access
groups to assist College Bound students as they move
through secondary school.
WCAN is just one of many statewide organizations
in the country that exists under the umbrella of the
National College Access Network (NCAN).

Both sides of Washington state share a
common need: preparing their young
people to graduate from high school
college-ready and prepared to enter and
succeed in college.
Yakima is a community where 84 percent of students live in
poverty. Approximately 60 percent of students graduate from
high school and about 44 percent go directly to college. CSF
works closely with the Yakima community to significantly
improve those statistics by offering services to students at both
Yakima high schools—A.C. Davis and D.D. Eisenhower, as well
as two middle schools.
Spokane Public Schools is the newest member of the CSF
family, with services launched in the fall of 2013. Spokane
is one of the largest districts in the state and just over half
of Spokane students go directly to college. CSF offers direct
student support services at five high schools, along with
several feeder middle schools, to improve the odds of students
completing higher education. CSF works in Ferris, Lewis and
Clark, North Central, Rogers and Shadle Park high schools, as
well as The Community School, to enhance the college-going
culture and improve the college-going rate.
