Description
Program Description
Iowa College Aid, a Bureau of the Iowa Department of Education, works across all sectors of higher education. Iowa College Aid’s mission is to advocate for and support Iowa students as they explore, finance and complete educational opportunities beyond high school to increase family and community success. Increasing college and career attainment is among the most effective and sustainable strategies for encouraging economic growth and fighting poverty. Local College/Career Access Networks are critical to the execution of Iowa College Aid’s mission.
Iowa College Aid launched the Local College/Career Access Network (LCAN) grant program in 2015, after identifying a need to build the capacity of college and career attainment partnerships at the local level. The LCAN grant program offers funding, consultation, training and technical assistance at each phase of LCAN development..
The LCAN grant program supports cross-sector leadership teams and networks dedicated to increasing college and career attainment in communities across Iowa. LCAN grant funding supports staff, training, and other expenses associated with creating an LCAN.
