Unfortunately, ASFP will not be operating this fall, as our volunteers are facing challenges to the complex technical systems underlying our program. We are deeply frustrated we cannot support every applicant this fall, and hope to be back in fall 2026. 1/3

ASFP is a complex, high-quality, & large program, requiring the creativity, time, and effort of many volunteers. While we're proud to have collectively helped >1,000 applicants over 5 years, we’re working behind the scenes so we can help thousands more in the coming years. 3/3
