ADMISSIONS ORG (BL-ADMS-IUBLA)

Indiana University is partnering with The College Advising Corps (CAC) and AmeriCorps to promote higher education opportunities to Indiana high school students. Indiana University Bloomington and CAC are devoted to helping every student take advantage of the opportunities that college offers. CAC focuses on college enrollment and completion among low-income, first-generation college and underrepresented high school students by delivering personalized, knowledgeable guidance on college admission, financial aid, and enrollment. We accomplish this by placing well-trained, recent college graduates as full-time college advisers in high schools across the nation. Advisers become part of their school community, collaborate with teachers and administrators, devise creative approaches to reach and connect with students and families, and play an integral role in changing the lives of the students they serve. This partnership supports the campus strategic plan to recruit and retain a highly motivated, diverse, academically prepared and global complement of undergraduate and graduate students.

Indiana University Bloomington College Advising Corps (IUBCAC) Advisers serve in an assigned Indiana high school(s) full-time alongside high school staff to mentor, encourage, and assist students with their college search, admissions, scholarship, and financial aid applications, and the transition from high school to higher education.

IUBCAC advisers will be expected to tailor programs and activities to support the achievement of school-based targets to increase post-secondary enrollment and persistence for students.
