The Challenge:

Breaking Barriers to Higher Education

In Pennsylvania,

60% OF JOB OPENINGS

require workers to have post-secondary education or trade certification.

College graduates can make over

$1.2 MILLION MORE

in their life span than if they did not have a college degree.

Pennsylvania is ranked

49th IN THE NATION

in college affordability.

Chester County Futures is committed to removing obstacles to college access — supporting students every step of the way as they define their path to success and pursue their goals.

Student Testimonies

“Chester County Futures helped me a lot and I will always be grateful! During my senior year I was so stressed out about applying to schools, writing papers and majoring. But I had many resources in CCF that helped me step by step and didn’t let me fall behind.”

— WENDY, CCF ALUMNI

“I received step-by-step guidance on my college selection as well as guidance throughout college. I received an internship at IMC Construction thanks to CCF! This internship allowed me to start connections for my career after college. I now have a good chance of getting a full-time job secured before I graduate!”

— EDWIN, CCF ALUMNI

“My time in CCF prepared me for life after high school by helping me grow in confidence, build strong values, and develop a clear sense of direction for my future college and career goals.”
