What is Access2College?

Walter Johnson High School (WJHS) is committed to advancing college access for all students. Members of the WJHS Guidance Advisory Committee developed an initiative in the Fall of 2006, Access2College, to provide recommended students with mentoring and assistance during the college application process. This is accomplished in conjunction with existing WJHS staff and resources. A fundamental belief of Access2College is that there is a four-year college or university for every individual who is committed to obtaining a postsecondary education. Access2College mentors students through an approach that is structured to assure that all required steps for the college application process and the search for financial assistance are finished on time. These include identifying potential colleges, preparing materials required for all applications, and completing necessary documents for financial aid during the initial year in college. The unique concerns of each student are addressed in a sensitive, personal and secure manner.
