The mission of the USC College Advising Corps is to improve college outcomes for low-income, first- generation, and underrepresented students. The goal of the program is to raise the number of California students who attend and complete college by encouraging and assisting high school students with their college searches, college applications, financial aid, and making the transition to post-secondary education. As we continue to impact college-going rates with students, we also seek to create partnerships with local districts and schools.
