About This Opportunity

ICAN (Iowa College Access Network) is Iowa's statewide college access organization — the Iowa counterpart to Nebraska's EducationQuest Foundation. ICAN provides FREE college access counseling, FAFSA completion assistance, and financial aid guidance to Iowa students and families, including Council Bluffs students and families. ICAN offers one-on-one counseling appointments (in-person and virtual), FAFSA completion workshops, college campus visit coordination, scholarship search assistance, and financial aid award letter comparison.
