TAMU Advise TX College Advising Corps

TAMU Advise TX College Advising Corps is a non-profit organization based in College Station, Texas. Employing a small team of four, the organization focuses on increasing access to higher education for low-income, first-generation, and underrepresented students in the state. TAMU Advise TX accomplishes its mission by placing recent college graduates as near-peer College Advisers on high school campuses. These advisors receive comprehensive training covering various aspects of the college journey, including admissions, financial aid, student services, and professionalism. The Advise TX model distinguishes itself by utilizing a near-peer approach to foster stronger relationships with students, collaborating with colleges and universities across Texas, and promoting a school-wide college-going culture rather than focusing on specific student cohorts. The organization also undergoes rigorous national evaluations to measure its impact and effectiveness. Website: admissions.tamu.edu
