Story County College Access Network

Story County College Access Network (SCCAN) is one of 13 networks across Iowa funded through Iowa College Aid. SCCAN brings together representatives from education, business, non-profit, government and philanthropy sectors to increase awareness and coordination among existing resources, identify gaps, and develop solutions that will better prepare individuals for post-secondary educational opportunities and careers. Of special interest will be the ability to better identify supports and pathways available to low income students, students of color, and first generation college-going students in order to make sure they are not being left out of existing or future opportunities. Expanding efforts to skill up adults who don’t currently have a post-secondary education in order to further their careers and increase their earning potential is also of interest.
