Past Programs:
College Advising Corps
The Massachusetts College Advising Corps was a collaborative
program that hired recent college graduates to work as full-time
college advisers in high schools across the state. The aim of the
Corps was to increase college enrollment rates and prepare students
for college success in both urban and rural areas of Massachusetts,
helping to ensure that higher education is an attainable goal for
all, regardless of socioeconomic status. The advisers provided
one-to-one college application guidance to low-income and
first-generation students while working with MACC member colleges to
raise awareness and strengthen the college access pipeline.
The program was run in partnership with the Tisch College of
Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University, and was part of
a larger national effort to mobilize young, college-educated leaders
to tackle the college admissions obstacles facing millions of
teenagers across the country. For more information about the
