Northwest Education Access provides comprehensive and individualized support to help low-income young people, ages 16-29, build their own path to higher education and beyond. Since 2002, Northwest Education Access, formerly known as Seattle Education Access, has provided the individualized guidance, connections to resources, and financial support low-income young people need to earn higher education degrees. We specialize in serving students facing profound barriers to higher education such as unstable housing, parenting, being an immigrant or refugees, or not having completed completing high school. What we do: -Provide personal attention, mentorship, technical assistance, and moral support to low-income young people navigating post-secondary education. -Connect low-income young people with information and resources, and support them in creating an individualized plan to meet their higher education goals. -Advocate for and with low-income young people, and empower them to develop their own voices as they pursue their higher education. -Provide financial resources that help low-income young people access higher education and meet their basic needs while in school. Who we serve: Many of our students have been homeless; others are immigrants, foster youth, or single parents. What they share in common is a strong motivation to complete their educations and a lack of adequate resources to achieve their goals. Check out our latest annual report at www.nweducationaccess.org
