The Texas College Advising Corps, in partnership with the Texas Education Agency and with financial support from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s College Access Challenge Grant, will give underserved high schools an opportunity to receive free college advising services starting in 2011.
The Texas College Advising Corps (TCAC), which is housed at the University of Texas at Austin’s Institute for Public School Initiatives (IPSI) in the College of Education, will place full-time college advisers at approximately 120 Texas high schools. The advisers, who are recent college graduates, will help students conduct college searches, complete admissions and financial aid applications, and enroll at higher education institutions that will best serve their needs.
TCAC plans to solicit applications from high-need schools in regions identified by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s Closing the Gaps by 2015 report, paying particular attention to schools with low college attendance rates. Later this month selected schools will receive a letter inviting them to enter a competitive process to participate.
