What We Do

The College Access Now program is dedicated to helping promising, low-income young people prepare for and earn admission to college.  Our mission is to identify high school students who a) are economically disadvantaged; b) among the first-generation in their families to go to college and c) demonstrate potential and motivation to pursue higher education.  Program participants will then be provided with four critical services:

  1. SAT/ACT test preparation;
  2. Intensive assistance in the college admissions process;
  3. Help in obtaining financial aid and scholarships; and
  4. Guidance in transition to college. 

The program is founded on the belief that given the resources and support these students will be successful in graduating and going to college.

 

Exciting News from CAN


"The College Access Now program fills a critical gap in assisting underprivileged high school students in applying to colleges, gaining admission, and obtaining financial support.  Many of these students will be the first in their first families to attend college.  As a volunteer coach, I have been struck by both the satisfaction that I experience in helping such deserving kids as well as by the extent of their need for assistance and direction.  This is a truly worthwhile program."  -- Greg Abbott, CAN Coach and retired lawyer


"I would not have applied to these campuses without the support of CAN, they made sure I got my FAFSA in and helped me every step of the way with my applications" -- Garfield Senior Solomon Welderfiel, a 2006 CAN Alumni who is currently attending Eastern Washington University.
