College Success Foundation is an educational nonprofit headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, serving school districts in Washington state and the District of Columbia. The organization serves underrepresented students, first-generation college students, students of color, low-income students and foster youth.

History

The foundation was formed in 2000 as the Washington Education Foundation by two former members of the state's Higher Education Coordinating Board,[1] Bob Craves [2] and Ann Ramsay-Jenkins, under the terms of the Washington State 2020 Commission on the Future of Post-Secondary Education created by Gov. Gary Locke.[3] In 2006, College Success Foundation-District of Columbia (CSF-DC) was founded as a subsidiary focusing on the District of Columbia, particularly in Wards 7 and 8.[4] In 2007, the organization widened its focus to include college prep and support services for students beginning in middle school,[5] and changed its name to reflect its broader geographic mission.

Public School Districts

CSF advisors work directly in schools with high percentages of low-income students. CSF collaborates with school districts to improve high school graduation rates and increase the number of graduates going directly to college.
