UNCW College Advising Corps works in partnership with the national College Advising Corps organization and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. UNCW College Advising Corps ( CAC) works to increase the number of low-income, first-generation college and underrepresented high school students who enter and complete higher education. By placing recent college graduates as college advisers in partner high schools, students can work closely with their near-peer adviser and explore post-secondary options that are best for them. Advisers assist students with all aspects of the college application process, including FAFSA, scholarship applications, and college enrollment.
The UNCW College Advising Corps serves six high schools along Eastern North Carolina. Partner schools for the 2025-2026 academic year are: Jones Senior High School, Washington High School, Southview High School, South Columbus High School, West Columbus High School, and West Craven High School.
