Giving to the I CAN Center of Excellence

I CAN Center of Exellence is a 501-c3 non-profit organization, supported primarily through contributions from individuals, companies, and organizations.

Your charitable contributrion is tax deductable and will be used to further our mission of helping area citizens access higher education and post-secondary training options.


The I CAN Center of Excellence, a regional college access network based in north central Ohio, provides over 6,000 students annually with comprehensive educational and interactive programs to strengthen their knowledge and access to higher education, post -secondary training options, and funding sources. This is accomplished through group workshops, school/classroom visits, one on one mentoring & guidance, and a of host electronic and print publications targeted to prospective students and their parents.

The I CAN Center of Excellence is the only program in the region that starts students thinking about post-secondary education as early as preschool. Studies show that early exposure to college results in higher probability of attendance.

The I CAN Center of Excellence awards tens of thousands of last dollar grants annually to deserving students based on financial need. Many of these students are first generation college students and/or minorities, who may not otherwise be able to attend college or post-secondary training. Your contribution helps us grow this number.

The I CAN Center of Excellence currently provides its products and services free of charge to the programs within the area schools.
