Advisers serve alongside existing school counselors as trained resources, mentors, and champions for higher education. As a result, the program will increase the number of students who successfully make the transition from high school to a postsecondary educational program of study that aligns with their career goals. The Model The program embeds well-trained, dedicated, near-peer college advisers into high schools that serve significant numbers of low-income and first generation college-going students. Advisers are recent graduates of twelve partner institutions. Once hired, the advisers complete a four-week intensive summer training before the school year begins. Advisers help students and families: Navigate the process of college and career exploration Prepare for college admissions examinations Apply to colleges that are a good match/fit Help prepare college applications and fee waivers Organize college campus visits Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) Secure financial aid and assist with scholarship applications Matriculate to college College advisers are meant to supplement the great work of high school counselors. They will also support school administrators and staff to foster a college- going culture in the building . Advisers are encouraged to provide services in tandem with existing college access efforts as well as Local College Access Networks. Partner Institutions Alma College, Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, Ferris State University, Grand Valley State University, Madonna College, Oakland University, Saginaw Valley State University, University of Michigan-Dearborn, University of Michigan-Flint, Wayne State University, and Western Michigan University Funding AdviseMI is an AmeriCorps program made possible through a blended funding model with gracious support from: State of Michigan, The Kresge Foundation, Corporation for National and Community Service, host communities, and partner institutions.
