Fairfield County's Community Foundation

We aspire for a community where all Fairfield County students are not only able to graduate with a high school degree but are also prepared for post-secondary education at a college or university if that is the path they choose.

To achieve this vision, it is critical to continue to increase access to post-secondary education for students who face barriers.

Today’s decision by the Supreme Court to disallow colleges and universities to take race into consideration as a basis in admissions is a step backwards for creating equitable access for many students in Fairfield County and nationwide who face intergenerational race-linked barriers and opportunity gaps.
