Office of College Access Initiatives

The Office of College Access Initiatives (OCAI) provides academic enrichment programs to high school students in the Lansing area in order to increase the number of youth from low-income backgrounds who complete high school and enroll in post-secondary education. Programs also serve individuals who have dropped out of high school, to age 27, by encouraging them to re-enter the educational system and complete their education.
