The University of Virginia launched the Virginia College Advising Corps (formerly the College Guide Program) in fall 2005 to address the widening gap in college access for low income, first generation, and under-represented groups. The Corps places recent U.Va. graduates in high schools and community colleges throughout the Commonwealth to work alongside counselors and other college access organizations. Our goal is to encourage and assist high school and community college students with college applications, financial aid, scholarship searches, and making the transition to post-secondary education.
