HEAF students have dreams and they work hard to achieve them. Our goal is to support them during every step of that journey. That's why 98% of HEAF students go on to college. HEAF is free of charge to our students.

HEAF helps students and families:

• Prepare and compete for coveted slots in New York City's top public high schools
• Get academic support from middle school through college
• Apply and gain admissions to competitive colleges and universities
• Identify scholarship and financial aid resources for higher education
• Explore career options and receive career counseling
• Develop the leadership and communication skills needed to succeed in life

HEAF's unique academic and youth development program begins in middle school and continues through college. As a supplemental education program, HEAF takes students who are on grade level, or almost there, and gives them the tools they need to reach higher. Students attend after-school, Saturday, and summer courses and leadership opportunities. Our educational model is a blend of academic support, enrichment and acceleration.
