We envision a Mississippi where all people can access and secure the training and education beyond high school that will allow them to enhance their quality of life, strengthen their communities, and contribute to a vibrant and prosperous future for our state.

Woodward Hines Education Foundation (WHEF), formerly known as Education Services Foundation (ESF), is a non-profit company headquartered in Jackson, Miss. 

WHEF’s college access program is Get2College, a boots-on-the-ground college planning program that provides free college counseling to any person in Mississippi who requests it. Get2College works directly with students and families to remove barriers to college attendance and support a college-going culture—a culture in which Mississippi students expect to go to college and receive the help they need to get there. Three Get2College centers in Southaven, Jackson, and Ocean Springs offer one-on-one college counseling and planning services for students and families. These services include career counseling, free ACT prep, and hands-on assistance in completing forms and securing financial aid in person and virtually in high schools throughout the state.

The Mississippi Consortium for Higher Education in Prison (MCHEP) partners with major stakeholders within the state of Mississippi and beyond to bring quality resources and information to practitioners that will assist in supporting students impacted by the criminal justice system while providing data and evaluations to expand and promote quality postsecondary education opportunities for students.
