At MCAN, we have one main goal: Increasing the percentage of Michigan residents with degrees or postsecondary certificates to 60% by the year 2030. By supporting increased access to postsecondary opportunities for low-income students, students of color, and first-generation college-going students, we address systemic inequities head-on. This way, we can empower students and communities in Michigan for generations to come.
