NEACAC - New England Association for College Admission Counseling
Opening doors to higher education across New England.
Margaret Addis Memorial Scholar Program

The Margaret Addis Memorial Scholar Program fund enables secondary school counselors from underrepresented areas to attend our Annual Meeting and Conference. "Underrepresented Areas" are defined as rural or urban secondary schools, EOP/TRIO programs and agencies and community/technical colleges in New England. To qualify, candidates should work in settings adversely impacted by budget cuts or limitations, and as such, could not afford the cost of NEACAC membership or attendance to the Annual Meeting and Conference. It is a primary goal of NEACAC and the Human Relations Committee to find ways of providing access to, and involving professionals in the field of education, and the Margaret Addis Memorial Scholarship assists in this effort.
