ESTABLISHED 2023
MISSION The Chatfield Edge empowers and accompanies students as they transform their lives through the pursuit of postsecondary education. Our work is rooted in the educational legacy of the Ursuline Sisters of Brown County, and we welcome people of all faiths or no faith backgrounds.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY We serve first-generation and non-traditional students who face challenges that can make post-secondary education seem out of reach.
Our staff works one-on-one with students to remove obstacles that can get in the way of achieving educational goals. We help students:
- Choose a field of study and school
- Apply for admittance and find financial aid and scholarships
- Foster and develop confidence in meeting postsecondary educational goals
- Develop solid study habits
- Navigate processes after enrollment
The Chatfield Edge offers its services free of charge to student scholars. Whether education occurs in a college or university setting, a trade school, or a certificate program, our unique support and encouragement will give individuals The Chatfield Edge.
