About NRCCUA

NRCCUA has been building educational bridges between college-bound high school students, high school counselors and college admissions officers for more than over 37 years. Through our annual surveys, we gather information on student attitudes and educational plans from nearly 5.5 million students in over 20,000 public and private high schools nationally. The survey is voluntary and students participate at no cost. This valuable research is published and distributed to more than 1,500 member colleges and universities so they can better identify high school students who meet their institutions’ admission profiles. In addition to hearing from colleges and universities, students may also hear from non-profit and for-profit organizations offering educational opportunities such as college admissions services, financial aid, career information, extracurricular enrichment and recognition programs.
