About CSF-Tacoma

College Success Foundation-Tacoma is a partnership with Tacoma Public Schools, Tacoma city government, colleges and community organizations to help widen access to college for students attending Tacoma public schools.

CSF has been empowering students, families and communities in Foss, Lincoln and Mt. Tahoma high schools since 2001. With demonstrated success at these schools, we expanded our reach into Stadium and Silas high schools in 2009 to serve all comprehensive high schools in Tacoma. We also serve six middle schools.
