College Advising Corps

College Advising Corps, founded in 2005, is a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the number of first-generation and low-income students who apply to and graduate from college. The organization achieves this by placing recent college graduates as full-time college advisers within high-need American high schools. These advisers foster a college-going culture, acting as experts, mentors, and guides to students and their families. They assist with navigating admissions, securing fee waivers, and completing FAFSA applications, thereby supplementing existing counseling staff and reaching more students. The company's products and services focus on college completion, partner programs, and high school student support, aiming to make higher education accessible.

Operating with an employee range of 500-1,000 individuals, College Advising Corps focuses its efforts on fostering student success. Advisers integrate into school communities, collaborating with teachers and administrators to embed college aspirations into the daily life of the school. They develop creative strategies to engage students and their families, demystifying the college application process and highlighting post-secondary educational possibilities. This dedicated support system is crucial for students who might otherwise lack the resources or guidance to pursue higher education.
