COLLEGE ADVISING CORP (CAC) WORKS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF LOW-INCOME, FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE, AND UNDERREPRESENTED HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO ENTER AND COMPLETE HIGHER EDUCATION
States served by CAC as of 2022:
North Carolina, California, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia
About College Advising Corps:
"Established in 2005, College Advising Corps works to increase the number of low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented high school students who enter and complete higher education. Our near-peer model pairs advisers with students close in age and with similar backgrounds. In 2020, College Advising Corps deployed more than 820 advisers. 55% were first-generation college graduates. 8 in 10 advisers were people of color."
"Well-trained, recent college graduates collaborate with teachers and administrators to devise creative approaches to connect with students, and most importantly, open the eyes of students and their families to the possibility of college. Advisers supplement existing high school counseling staff, thereby reaching more students. Virtual Advisers provide remote support to high-achieving low- and moderate-income students. Virtual Advisers use video chat, email, telephone calls, and text messages to help students prepare for college. From navigating the college admissions maze, to securing SAT/ACT fee waivers and assisting students and their families with FAFSA applications, [CAC] advisers change the lives of the students they serve."
