Beaufort | Columbus | Craven | Cumberland | Jones | Pasquotank Too often, first-generation and low-income students think attending a four-year institution is out of reach. To change this misconception
and increase educational opportunities for underrepresented students, UNCW is partnering with College Advising Corps by placing college advisers in rural high schools in North Carolina.
In 2020, CAC deployed more than 820 advisers from 31 partner universities in 782 high schools in 17 states. The advisers served 240,000 students.
