Empowering Students to Succeed

The National College Advising Corps (NCAC) seeks to bring talented, enthusiastic advisers to every community that wants them and to every student who needs them.

Through a nationwide consortium of colleges and universities, the corps aims to increase the number of low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students entering and completing higher education. By placing recent graduates of partner institutions as college advisers in low-income high schools and community colleges, our programs work in communities across the country to provide the advising and encouragement that students need to navigate college admissions.

Advisers work full-time to help students plan their college searches, complete admissions and financial aid applications, and enroll at schools that will serve them well.

With full institutional participation scheduled for August 2008, the program will serve nearly 30,000 students next year.
