Exciting News: Peer Mentoring Program at Edison High School
We are thrilled to announce the launch of a Peer Mentoring Program at Edison High School! Inspired by several of our seniors, this initiative will pair junior and senior students with 9th graders to provide support during their transition into high school.
The program is designed to help 9th-grade students with:
- Academic challenges
- Time management and study skills
- Building a sense of community and belonging
If you have a junior or senior student in your household, please encourage them to complete the attached application. Please note: the QR Code link is accessible only through a student’s school email account.
We are excited about the positive impact this program will have on our school community! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our school counselors:
 Students showed off their Middle Years Program Personal Projects today!
The 2025-26 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is now available. Any college-bound high school senior — regardless of income — who wants to be considered for federal, state, and school financial aid programs should complete a FAFSA form.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to work with their children to complete the FAFSA as early as possible. Check each college’s financial aid office webpage for deadlines and financial aid forms. Then, create an account, if you have not already done so, and fill out the FAFSA.
The Virginia Alternative State Aid (VASA) application will be available in late January for students who are unable to complete the FAFSA. To help determine which aid option is right for you, visit the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia website.
Get Help Filling out FAFSA From College Access Fairfax
Over the next few months, College Access Fairfax will be offering several programs on completing the FAFSA/VASA and finding and applying for scholarships. Get information on these programs and how to access them on the College Access Fairfax website.
In addition, College Access Fairfax staff are available for virtual one-on-one help sessions to complete the FAFSA/VASA. To request an appointment, families should email appointments@CollegeAccessFairfax.org.
