Our Commitment
Three Pillars of Support
Our comprehensive program is built on three core principles, designed to provide holistic support for every Charlottesville High School scholar.
Renewable Grants
1:1 Mentorship
Alumni Network
CSP focuses on long-term support with need-based financial aid that renews and increases annually, bridging the tuition gap for all four years of college.
Every scholar is paired with a dedicated local mentor, offering guidance and support from freshman year through graduation day.
CSP hopes to foster lifelong connections between our scholars. We created a community network to help Alumni find internships, job/volunteer opportunities, professional tips, and more.
Our Mission
To uphold our community’s promise to create opportunities and build futures for low-and-moderate income graduates of any Charlottesville Public School and employees of the City of Charlottesville and the City Schools who have limited financial resources.
Join us in supporting Charlottesville students on their path to college graduation and local impact.
