Carolina College Advising Corps

Carolina College Advising Corps Carolina College Advising Corps Launched in 2007 and funded by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, the Z.

Smith Reynolds Foundation, the Annie Penn Community Trust and the Golden LEAF Foundation, the Carolina Corps is one of 13 constituent programs in the National College Advising Corps which is headquartered at UNC-Chapel Hill. According to the College Board, high-achieving students from low-income families have about the same chance of enrolling in college as low-achieving students from high-income

families. For the 2010-2011 academic year, 21 advisers will serve 55 high schools in 22 counties across the state of North Carolina and advise more than 8,000 graduating seniors. Now entering its fourth year, advisers work closely with guidance counselors and other school personnel to create programs that meet the needs of the students in North Carolina high schools. Typically, an adviser works in two high schools, helping students research and apply to a broad range of two- and four-year schools, with the goal of finding the one that fits each individual best.

“The advisers that we are fortunate enough to hire, they’re smart, they’re talented, they’re resilient, they come from all types of backgrounds. They see themselves in the students they are serving. To see them actually carrying the mission of the Corps out is gratifying.”
