The Appalachian Regional Commission has awarded Appalachian State University $200,000 to continue its support for the Western North Carolina Network for Access and Success (WNCNAS). WNCNAS is housed in Enrollment Services, a division of Academic Affairs at Appalachian, and supports academic readiness programs, college visits, financial aid workshops, parent information sessions, and career development workshops to students while they are in high school.
