GReat Aspirations

GRASP's mission is to help all students and their families, with a focus on financially disadvantaged households, by: giving inspiration and hope that their goals are attainable; assisting them with the financial aid process and awarding scholarships; and supporting them in the attainment of their post-secondary goals at the lowest possible cost. GRASP is the only organization in the regions we serve that is primarily focused on assisting students with the postsecondary financial aid process and scholarship searching for all students. Financial aid is critical to increasing college access and success and is most effective when students and families learn about it early enough to make informed choices and plans. GRASP fills a substantial gap in the college access and success pipeline and fulfills our mission to ensure that every student has an equal opportunity for continuing education after high school through a balanced continuum of services.
