Empowering students to achieve success in higher education.

The Southern Maryland College Access Network (SoMD CAN) is a nonprofit organization with initial seed funding from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. SoMD CAN has been founded by experienced and committed leaders in education and community service.

SoMD CAN provides direct services to junior and senior high school students during their lunch period on a weekly basis. We also  provide financial aid seminars and other important training for parents and students.

Read the SoMD CAN blog at www.somdcan.blogspot.com to learn more about the ins and outs of college admissions and financial aid.

Be sure to attend our FAFSA Line by Line Workshops and College Goal Sunday in January presented by the So MD CAN Executive Director, Sonia Wagner. See schedule to the right.

College Goal Sunday is a FREE service program that helps high school seniors and their parents/guardians complete the universally required Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form. SoMD CAN / College Access Network and the Calvert County Public Library and St. Mary's County Public Library are co-sponsors of this event where professional assistance is provided in completing the FAFSA on the Web.
