The National College Advising Corps at Brown University seeks to increase the number of low- to moderate-income high school students who enter college and earn bachelor’s degrees, by providing college application and financial aid guidance to those students and their families while fostering a culture of college attendance and higher education in Rhode Island’s urban communities.
NCAC Access Scholars: Eight work-study eligible Brown University undergraduate students serve as Access Scholars, minimum-time AmeriCorps Members who support the capacity-building and outreach work of the College Guides, working on individual and group SAT preparation, essay writing, and financial aid programming. The Access Scholars program also involves seminars and group projects on college access in Rhode Island and nationally.
Martin Smalls (URI ’09) is the NCAC College Guide for Central High School of Providence, Rhode Island. He works with Access Scholar Hannah Kang (Brown ’10).
