For more than a decade we've partnered with George Mason University to support first generation college students through the Early Identification Program (EIP). Today we celebrate our 2020 Early Identification Program Grads! Their story in today's ACPS Express: https://bit.ly/2XW8mwO

Today, we're honoring the work of local organizations closing excellence gaps in Northern Virginia. Over a half-million dollars in grants will allow more than 1,400 students to participate in academic enrichment programs, pursue college access initiatives, and obtain direct scholarships.

This year’s grantees include:

George Mason University's ADVANCE and Early Identification Program

NOVA Community College Foundation

The Official Loudoun County Public Schools Level Up

Community Foundation for Loudoun and Northern Fauquier Counties

It’s 7:15 a.m. on a Wednesday morning in July and the sun is still rising. Outside T.C. Williams High School, sleepy-eyed students are gathering to take a bus heading the 16 miles to George Mason University at an hour when most of their peers are still asleep.

These students have made a commitment to the Early Identification Program, a year-round partnership designed to help prepare middle and high school students become the first in their families to attend college in the US. Follow them on their journey.

Linda Chilin, who came to the U.S. from El Salvador, is one of a few students to begin their relationship with the university through its Early Identification Program (EIP) and continue into a Ph.D. program. Find out more about her story and what she hopes to do in the future >> http://fal.cn/sB7P

Huge congrats to our George Mason University Early Identification Program grads, Tatiana, Mercy, Kokebe, and Jadah! EIP is a program designed to help potential first-generation college-goers on their journey through high school and into college.

Sometimes it’s nice to stop, look back and smile at yourself❤️

A few years ago I got to perform for the amazing students of George Mason University Early Identification Program. They were a most excited, inspired and appreciative audience. Facebook reminded me of it today. It came as a beautiful reminder of the places I’ve been, people I’ve inspired, goals I’ve accomplished. It’s nice to think about those sometimes🙂

We're excited for our new First Generation LLC "The First" for Fall 2018!

NPR "Fitting In On Campus: Challenges For First-Generation Students" highlights the challenges First-Generation students' face which are different from those of their peers.

We’re proudly celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

Fun fact: did you know that close to 60% of EIP STEM Fusion participants are young women? At EIP, we’re happy to provide resources and learning opportunities for many high school students, including women, who have an interest in STEM!

There are so many fun subjects we teach through our events, lectures, and activities. In EIP, you can get first-hand experience with STEM activities, mentoring, and other academic supports. List a subject or activity you would like to see more of at EIP?

We know how important going to college is. It can increase your chances of landing a higher paying job, help you make lifelong connections, and prepare you for the real-world. But we’d like to hear your thoughts on what college means to you as a EIP student, EIP alumnus, and First-Generation College Student. What does college mean to you?

12/09/2021

Here’s an EIP throwback: our STEM Fusion Expo in 2017. EIP students had a chance to visit booths of different STEM companies and learn more about what it takes to get real-world experience. Activities included robots, flight simulations and lectures from leaders throughout the STEM industry. When you join EIP, you’ll have the opportunity to be exposed to different areas of STEM (and have fun doing it!).

12/08/2021

We all have that one class or subject we love! At EIP, we offer weekly tutoring, mentoring, study skills and more to help you prepare for college. What about EIP makes you excited?

12/06/2021

Time flies when you’re having a good time. 😄 As students are studying and taking their finals, we want to know about your experience at EIP. It’s been a joy to have students like you take our classes to prepare for college. We’d love to know how EIP has impacted your life. Did you learn more about a certain subject or did it help you get a better idea of what to expect in college?

12/05/2021

Good game. We fell short 10 points. Great time though!!!
