Who We Are
College Advising Corps (CAC) is the "Teach for America" of college advising. In Texas, five partner institutions recruit exceptionally talented recent graduates, provide them with six weeks of intensive training and supervise and professionally develop college advisors throughout the year.
What We Do
Advisors are then placed in Texas high schools with a high proportion of historically underserved students. These highly trained, near-peer advisors work full-time and build a culture of pursuing higher education in the high school and help high school students find the best fit for their career aspirations and academic preparation. This includes assistance with ACT, SAT and college application fee waivers, college exploration, college application, FAFSA completion and submission and — when college acceptance letters arrive — helping students understand the different financial aid packages they are offered.
