College Advising Corps:
The Massachusetts College Advising Corps is a collaborative program
that hires recent college graduates to work as full-time college advisers
in high schools across the state. The aim of the Corps is 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 provide 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 is run in partnership with the Tisch College of Citizenship
and Public Service at Tufts University, and is 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.
