College Access Partnerships (CAP) supports students from the Appalachian region of North Carolina to find their own unique path to postsecondary education and achieve their dreams.
We accomplish this by supporting the work of teachers, counselors, and educators, along with providing direct services to students.
We believe the best way for our region to grow economically is to educate our students beyond high school. Our job, collectively, is to help students explore possibilities for careers and then match those aspirations to degree programs at the local community college or a four-year university.
Vision
All students of the North Carolina Appalachian region will be college ready.
