Gainesville, FL (EEF News) — For the fourth consecutive year, the Children’s Trust of Alachua County has joined the Education Equalizer Foundation as the title sponsor of the College PASS Program—a yearlong college and career readiness experience serving high school students across Alachua County.
The 2025–2026 College PASS IV cohort will engage in ACT/SAT prep, mentorship, financial aid workshops, college tours, civic engagement, and hands-on skill-building experiences that prepare them for life beyond high school. Thanks to the continued support of the Children’s Trust, students will have access to transformational opportunities that help them prepare, access, and succeed.
“The Children’s Trust has been with us since the beginning,” said Dr. Kandra Albury, Board Chairwoman of the Education Equalizer Foundation. “Their support shows what’s possible when community organizations invest in student potential—and stay committed to the work year after year.”
