GRASP, (Great Aspirations Scholarship Program, Inc.) is here to make college application processes just a bit more manageable for everyone. GRASP is an organization dedicated to providing equal opportunity for all students interested in pursuing secondary education, including community colleges, 4-year universities, and workforce credentials. Since 1983, GRASP has been supporting and inspiring students for their goals of secondary education by ensuring that financial aid is more accessible than ever.
Many students aspire to continue their education into college, but are simply held back by barriers, financial or otherwise. GRASP’s financial aid advisors work to remove these barriers.
As many know, this year’s FAFSA process caused a lot of problems for students trying to apply for financial aid. For this reason, many students skipped the FAFSA process entirely. GRASP’s public service announcement: It’s not too late to complete the FAFSA for school this fall!

“The cost of a college education is often a barrier for students attaining a postsecondary degree, but another barrier is the lack of knowledge of how to navigate the financial aid system. GRASP advisors can help,” said Todd Martin, GRASP CEO. “For recent high school graduates – there is still time to apply and enroll for classes starting in August at a community college or even select four-year colleges that are still accepting applications.”
GRASP’s financial aid advising services are available throughout the academic year. Email at advising@grasp4va.org or call 804-923-0059 if you need assistance. You can also schedule a virtual appointment on the GRASP calendar.
The list of colleges still accepting students for the fall 2024 term can be found at nacacnet.org.
