The Michigan College Access Network (MCAN) has one goal: to increase the amount of Michigan residents with high-quality degrees and credentials from 34% to 60% by the year 2025.

MCAN wants to help Michigan become a vibrant economy with strong communities.  Their mission is to increase the college participation and completion rate in Michigan, particularly among low-income and/or first generation college students of all ages.

How do they plan to do this? MCAN serves community-based and campus-based college access organizations through advocacy/leadership, professional development, program development, technical assistance, and sustainability support.

Organizations such as school districts, institutions of higher education, youth-serving nonprofit organizations, government agencies, corporations, and foundations, may join MCAN and receive member benefits. Contact MCAN to find out how you can become a member or get involved!
