University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Launched in 2007, the College Advising Corps at UNC-Chapel Hill helps low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students across the state find their way to colleges that will serve them well. By placing well-trained, enthusiastic advisers who are close in age and circumstance to the students they serve, the program aims to increase college-going rates at rural and urban high schools across North Carolina. During the 2020-2021 school year, 61 near-peer advisers served students in 78 partner high schools throughout the state.
