Missouri College & Career Attainment Network - MOCAN

The KCCAN Advising Team prepared for back-to-school with colleagues from the K-State College Advising Corps this week! We're looking forward to advising the Class of 2027!

The MOCAN Affordability Team of Kaitlyn and Victoria spent time last week with Becca from Missouri Scholarship & Loan Foundation working on the new and improved My Scholarship Central site coming this fall!

Happy 1st anniversary to the KCCAN Advising Team!

The MOCAN team had a great time at the St. Louis CITY SC vs Sporting Kansas City game!

The full MOCAN team - plus some Board members! - celebrated the past year at the City vs Sporting soccer game last night and spent today planning for how we can best support students in the years ahead. We live and work across the state but we are One MOCAN!

Shout out to the Kansas City Public Schools Class of 2026 who led the KC metro in FAFSA completion this year with an outstanding FAFSA completion rate of 65.6%! We are so proud of the students who took this important step to ensuring their future success!
The KCCAN Advising Team is honored to partner with our colleagues in the KCPS office of Postsecondary Access and Student Success to ensure every KCPS graduate is college and career ready.
Why It Matters:
Of 28 factors impacting economic mobility, postsecondary education, particularly a college degree, is the most impactful. High school seniors who complete the FAFSA are 84% more likely to immediately enroll in postsecondary education. The future is bright for KCPS graduates!
Thank You to KCCAN Director Elizabeth Mounteer and our KCCAN Advising Team!
