Michigan College Access Network

**About MCAN** Since our founding in 2010, Michigan College Access Network has engaged with partners across the state to improve college access and success for all students. Our data-driven approach is focused on providing support where it is needed the most, particularly among students from low-income backgrounds, students who would be the first in their family to graduate college, and students of color. We believe in the power of higher education to improve individual lives, with positive effects that ripple out into their communities. We are committed to Michigan’s Sixty by 30 attainment goal — 60% of residents earning a postsecondary certificate or degree by the year 2030 — in pursuit of a better future for all Michiganders. **Our Mission** Increase college readiness, participation, and completion in Michigan, particularly among low-income students, first-generation college-going students, and students of color. **Our Goal** Sixty by 30 — 60% of Michigan residents earning a postsecondary certificate or degree by the year 2030. **Our Convictions** MCAN’s work is equity-focused, student-centered, data-driven, and attainment-oriented.
