National College Access Network (NCAN)

Last year, Excelencia in Education forged a partnership with National College Access Network (NCAN). The mission of NCAN is to improve access to and success in postsecondary education for disadvantaged, underrepresented, and first-generation students. NCAN does this by supporting a network of state and local college access programs that provide counseling, advice, and financial assistance; sharing best practices among the network; providing leadership and technical assistance; and helping establish new college access programs. The first Excelencia Symposium was organized in cooperation with NCAN and offered at their annual conference. Visit their website.
