Welcome to the Minnesota College Access Network!

We are building a strong network of people who are committed to providing equitable access to a life of options, rather than limitations, for all Minnesotans. Join us today!

"I Am Not a Loan"
The National College Access Network recently partnered with the I AM NOT A LOAN campaign to demand a solution to America’s college affordability crisis, and hopes you will join us. The campaign launched with a successful action to encourage President Obama to address the issue of college affordability in the 2013 State of the Union address. Now, we’re calling on colleges and universities across the country to pledge to take action to reduce student debt on their campuses.
