“Our research shows that about 1 in 5 high school seniors who intend to start college don’t actually get there,” said Iowa College Aid Executive Director Mark Wiederspan.
“These counseling positions will be crucial to helping more young Iowans follow through on their college plans.”
Zehr says the new positions will help reach more of those students by assisting and supplementing the work that current high school counselors are providing to their students right now.
“The CCTCs are going to be able to help students and families by supporting them through the transition from high school to college, apprenticeships, military and other educational opportunities,” Zehr said.
