The Ohio College Access Network recently awarded $25,000 to Coshocton CARES College Access Program as part of the competitive Great Lakes College Access Investment Grant process.

The grant, funded by Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corp., is designed for community-based OCAN members to implement new programs, enhance existing initiatives or build capacity to strengthen their overall operations.


Working together with Coshocton County school districts, Coshocton CARES advisers assist students and parents in each local high school with career planning, college preparation, visitations, selection and application assistance and financial aid advising. The program's goal is to help more Coshocton County students pursue and complete education beyond high school with particular focus on low-income and those who are first in their families to go to college.
