GRASP Advisors help students and families with the financial aid process and scholarships so students can make their higher education goals a reality.
If we don’t have an advisor at your high school or if you’re a returning student currently enrolled in a post secondary institution, please book a virtual appointment.
If you prefer assistance with scheduling, feel free to contact our main office at advising@grasp4va.org or call us at (804) 923-0059.
Congratulations to our 2025 Scholarship Recipients

Tracking the U.S. Department of Education
GRASP is monitoring updates/changes to the financial aid landscape relative to potential changes within the U.S. Department of Education and will continue our work to ensure career and college access for all. Right now, nothing in the financial aid process has stopped. The FAFSA website remains operational, and colleges are starting to send financial aid awards to students. GRASP continues our work advising students and parents throughout their financial aid journey.
Equity in Education
“Talent is equally distributed, access to opportunity is not.” Leila Janah
GRASP recognizes that there are barriers to participation for students from low-income families and marginalized communities. Our advisors see students for who they are and help them take the next step in reaching their career goals.
Equity does not mean giving everyone the identical thing. Equity means providing each student the resources and support they need to optimize their learning and achievement.
Since its founding in 1983, GRASP has worked to ensure that every student has an equal opportunity for continuing education after high school, regardless of financial or social circumstances. Quality education for all is imperative, and GRASP helps all students achieve their educational and career goals toward brighter futures.
