ACCESS-Tidewater Scholarship Foundation, Inc.
and Green
Run and Bayside High Schools
ACCESS exists to offer more high school students the opportunity to go to college
by providing scholarships, access to additional funds, and a wealth of complimentary
services: assisting students in both preparing for and paying for entrance exams;
selecting, applying and enrolling in college; applying for financial aid from
a variety of sources; and improving college preparedness. Begun in Norfolk in
1988 by Frank Batten and Josh Darden, ACCESS has helped over 22,000 students
in the Tidewater region secure $80.7 million in financial aid and scholarship
money. Since launching the Virginia Beach partnership in 1999, ACCESS has served
thousands of our students. This program has been so richly rewarding that it
was recently expanded to Landstown High and plans to expand to all VBCPS high
schools within the next few years.
