Partnership for the Future

We're proud to celebrate another incredible achievement from our PFF Class of 2026!

Congratulations to Zakiyyah (Highland Springs HS graduate) for being selected as a recipient of the Virginia Council on Women's STEAM-H Scholarship Award. Through the Council's annual essay competition, Zakiyyah was recognized for her academic excellence, leadership, and passion for pursuing a future in STEAM-H.

As part of this prestigious honor, she was invited to the Executive Mansion for a special breakfast with Governor Abigail Spanberger, First Gentleman Adam Spanberger, and fellow scholarship recipients from across the Commonwealth.

Zakiyyah continues to demonstrate what is possible through hard work, determination, and a commitment to excellence. We are incredibly proud of her accomplishments and wish her continued success at Virginia Tech this fall.

Join us in congratulating Zakiyyah on this well-deserved recognition!

From walking campus to imagining life as college students, our Level 3 (rising high school seniors) students traveled to Washington, D.C., where they toured Howard University and George Washington University; experiencing college life firsthand and connecting with each campus’s unique community.

Every college visit helps our students dream bigger, ask new questions, and take one step closer to their future.🎓💫

The greatest measure of our impact isn't found in statistics, it's found in the students whose lives have been transformed along the way.

Watch and listen as our Class of 2026 high school graduates share what Partnership for the Future has meant to them and how the program has helped prepare them for college, careers, and beyond.

Join us in celebrating Jasmine Lewis, a recent graduate of Richmond Community High School, who has been awarded a prestigious $10,000 CGCS–Peters Pharis Foundation Math and Science Scholarship! This fall, Jasmine will begin her journey at North Carolina A&T, where she plans to major in Civil Engineering.

The scholarship program, sponsored by the Peters Pharis Foundation in partnership with the Council, was designed for outstanding urban high school students, particularly those who are the first in their family to attend college, and who plan to pursue STEM studies at a four-year college or university in the fall.

We are incredibly proud of Jasmine and can't wait to see all she accomplishes in this next chapter. 💙💛🎓
