At MSUCAC, our mission is to provide guidance to low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students by helping them successfully navigate through the college enrollment process. Our college advisers help students plan their college and scholarship searches, complete admissions and financial aid applications, and select the post secondary institution that best matches their career objectives. Increasing the number of college educated citizens is a critical factor in the economic recovery and future of the state of Michigan. Michigan State University College Advising Corps has developed productive collaborations with high schools, counselors, and community based college access networks to create real pathways for underserved populations to realize a college education.
