The University of Utah
The University of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT) is using its College Advising Corps grant to create the Utah College Advising Corps and develop college-advising programs at 14 low-income high schools designed to increase college enrollment rates statewide. Recent University of Utah graduates will serve as advisers in the high schools, providing one-on-one counseling and helping students – including first-generation students, students of color, and students facing financial barriers – navigate the often-difficult processes of test preparation and college and financial aid applications. Over four years, the program will provide one-on-one college-advising services to 4,400 Utah high-school students and will work to change perceptions about who belongs, and who can succeed, in college. The program is initially focused on Salt Lake City-area schools, but plans to expand statewide over time.
