Overview
SF Achieve provides students in Alachua and Bradford County public high schools with robust mentoring opportunities right inside their high schools – coaching them on career exploration, time management, financial aid and more. That level of mentorship will continue after students enroll at SF, along with a stipend to cover the costs of their textbooks. Eligible students will also qualify for a full-tuition scholarship that picks up where financial aid leaves off, helping to pay for up to 60 credit hours at SF.
The Student Ambassador Program is a leadership opportunity for students who are dedicated to serving and representing Santa Fe College. Student Ambassadors provide campus tours, serve as an SF representative and perform duties at various SF campus and community events.
The Finish at the Top program provides outreach to students in order to assist them in the re-enrollment process so that they can finally complete their degree. The program connects these students with the resources they need to support their success at SF. Scholarships are available to those students who qualify.
On-Campus and Virtual Events
Santa Fe College holds a variety of events on-campus and online to connect prospective students with academic programs and college opportunities.
Our Admitted Student Preview events are focused on helping incoming students prepare for the transition to college, and are held virtually several weeks prior to the start of a student's first semester. The event offers breakout rooms for conversations with Admissions Advisers, Student Ambassadors, Academic Coaches, and other SF representatives to prepare students for the upcoming semester.
Santa Fe Live kicks off the school year by welcoming new students to Santa Fe College. This in-person New Student Convocation, hosted by Student Ambassadors, showcases campus resources and provides helpful tips about how to be successful and/or make the most your college experience. The next Santa Fe Live shows will be held August 23 and 24, 2023, during the first week of the Fall semester. Students can sign up in eSantaFe after they register for Fall classes.
Middle School Parent and Family Engagement Workshops
Santa Fe College Admissions Team periodically hosts a series of workshops designed to build positive connections and strengthen communication with parents, families, and students before the college admissions process begins. The information provided aims to support students and families educationally, financially, socially, and mentally.
A college fair traditionally held each year in late August, the event brings colleges and universities across the country to our campus. This year's College Fair will be held on Monday, August 28. Mark your calendars!
Held each year in the Spring, Open House is designed for high school seniors and their families to learn more about the college and the enrollment process. Mark your calendars now for our next Open House event, which will be held on the Northwest Campus on Saturday, March 23, 2024.
Events held throughout the academic year that bring 8th graders from each local middle school to the Northwest campus. The events partner with the SF Achieve program to connect middle school students with college knowledge, ranging from career choices, academic pathways and student life.
This free event held each fall is open to male high school seniors of color interested in learning more about the college experience.
This exclusive opportunity provides 7-11th grade black males access to important information about college and university, financial aid, scholarship, SF programs and additional services we offer.
