The mission of College Access Foundation of California is to help qualified students in California who have financial need attend college.

To increase college participation rates among student populations that have had historically low college-going rates.

To provide sufficient aid to enable scholarship recipients to enter and remain enrolled in colleges.

College Access Foundation is the largest foundation of its kind in California and will ultimately have more than $450 million to remove the financial barriers that prevent students from realizing their dreams of a higher education. College Access Foundation funds organizations that help students prepare for and enter institutions of higher learning.
