Our Partnerships: Districts and Schools Throughout Southern California

Why Partner with USC CAC?
Partner Districts/Schools receive a fully trained, full-time college adviser.
- The adviser serves a two-year term, after which a new adviser will take his/her place.
- Advisers directly assist students with all things college — research, selection, application, SAT/ACT, FAFSA, Dream Act, scholarships, SIR, enrollment and beyond.
- Advisers are also tasked with helping build the college-going culture on campus.
If you are interested in partnering with the USC College Advising Corps, please email program director Ara Arzumanian or usccac@usc.edu.
