Washtenaw Futures College Access Network

Washtenaw Futures works to weave a network of services that make accessing and obtaining a college degree an achievable reality for every student in Washtenaw County, especially for students of color, students who are economically disadvantaged, and students who are the first in their family to go to college.

We believe:

• College is postsecondary education:  "College" refers to the attainment of valuable postsecondary credentials beyond high school, including professional/technical certificates and academic degrees.
• College is a necessity: Postsecondary education is a prerequisite to success in a knowledge-based economy. Everyone must pursue and complete a postsecondary credential or degree beyond high school.
• College is for everyone: The postsecondary education attainment rates among low-income students and students of color are significantly lower than those of other students. Washtenaw Futures is committed to closing these gaps.
• College is a public good: Postsecondary educational opportunity and attainment are critical to a just and equitable society, strong economy, and healthy communities.

Washtenaw Futures College Access Network is a community collaborative focused on making post-secondary education an achievable reality for every student.
