What is Avenues for success(AFS)?

AFS is a comprehensive college access, persistence and completion program that is dedicated to serve first-generation, low-income students from Hoover High School. Funded by the Price Philanthropies Foundation, the AFS program provides services to students and alumni as they set education and career goals, identify viable pathways to employment, navigate the college enrollment, completion, and financial aid process, persist from college to graduation, and connect with resources to succeed. Parents and guardians are an integral partner in their students' lives and receive ongoing support from Avenues for Success staff to help their students realize their future self and set goals to achieve their aspirations.
