College Advising Corps

College Advising Corps is the nation's largest nonprofit organization committed to educational equity and opportunity for high school students. Partnering with 31 universities across 15 states, it places recent college graduates as near-peer advisers in under-resourced high schools. These advisers act as coaches, counselors, and role models, empowering low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students to explore and pursue higher education pathways. In the past year, over 760 advisers served more than 200,000 high school seniors at 800 schools nationwide.

Since its founding in 2005, College Advising Corps has facilitated post-secondary enrollment for nearly one million high school graduates, guiding them toward four-year degrees, two-year programs, trade certifications, or military service. The organization operates with an employee range of 500-1,000 individuals and reported a revenue of $56.4M.

The core mission centers on bridging the gap in college access for students who may otherwise lack the resources or guidance to navigate the complex application process. By embedding advisers directly within high schools, College Advising Corps ensures that critical support is available where and when students need it most, fostering a culture of academic aspiration and achievement. The organization's impact is measured by its success in helping students enroll in post-secondary education, thereby promoting social mobility and economic advancement.
