What is MCAC?
The Maryland College Application Campaign (MCAC) is open to all high school students. The goal of the college campaign is to increase the number of first generation students, low-income students, unaccompanied youths, foster care youths, students with disabilities, students in juvenile education services, and others underrepresented in higher education. The MCAC provides hands-on assistance to high school students with selecting the post-secondary option that best meet their needs, the college application process and the FAFSA completion process, ensuring that each participating high school student submits at least one post-secondary application.
