AEF College Prep Academy

The Alameda Education Foundation (AEF) is pleased to announce the formation of the AEF College Prep Academy.  “The goal of the academy is to support students who are traditionally underrepresented in college,” said AEF Executive Director Vicki Sedlack.  “We will offer programs such as test prep courses, personal statement workshops, college financial information and more.”  The courses are free or low-cost with scholarships available for qualified students so that no student will be turned away for financial reasons.

The first program under the academy is an ACT “Crash Course” that takes place over spring break in time for the April 9th ACT.  “We learned that many existing college test prep programs were either too expensive for many students or were not meeting the students’ needs,” added AEF Enrichment Director Sarah Olaes.  “We believe we can offer high quality programs at a price point that is affordable and help students who may not otherwise have the resources get the edge they need to successfully make the transition into college.”

Other programs in 2016 include a seminar on Paying for College on April 7th, an ACT “Full Course” in August and a personal statement workshop on September 10th and 17th.
