The Chatfield Edge

The Chatfield Edge empowers and accompanies students as they transform their lives through the pursuit of education. Our work is rooted in the educational legacy of the Ursuline Sisters of Brown County, Ohio. We welcome people of all faith or no faith backgrounds. The Chatfield Edge envisions a world in which first-generation and underserved students are equipped with resources to reach their education and life goals, increasing their employability, servant leadership and deepening their impact on their families and communities.

We provide the resources and support underserved and first-generation students need to reach their educational goals. We do this by partnering with the student throughout their higher education experience. We provide support and mentoring, college application and FAFSA application assistance, career counseling, and scholarship assistance. Our scholarships are wide-ranging and often provide gap funding for financial assistance not available via through loans and other avenues.

The Chatfield Edge, formerly the Chatfield College, continues it's 178 year legacy ensuring underserved students have the opportunities to succeed as servant leaders and successful scholars. We ensure they have the financial resources and mentoring support they need to succeed in their higher education journey.

The Chatfield Edge's mission is to empower and accompany would-be scholars as they transform their lives through the pursuit of postsecondary education. We understand that the desire to gain higher education is the first step on a journey that will lead to a lifetime of growth and opportunity. Often times this journey ends with changed lives, families, communities and human thriving.

Over the past year the organization has consistently delivered on its commitment, positively impacting the lives of countless individuals through untethered higher education.

In our first six months, weve reached 17 students supporting them with financial scholarships as they enroll in college, university and trade certification programs.

Weve recruited and onboarded 8 mentors in industries like education, travel, data solutions, university life, design, finance and even behavioral sciences.

Our scholars are first generation or underrepresented students who attend institutions of higher learning in three states, including Ohio University, Purdue University and Asbury University.
