CAN provides varying levels of fee-based support tiers based on individual student needs. If an admitted Drexel student wishes to apply to CAN, a CAN application (link below) along with confirmation of their Drexel admission must be submitted to CAN@drexel.edu by May 15 (June 1 for 2024–2025). If you are unsure which tier is best for you or your student, you're encouraged to reach out to us at CAN@drexel.edu for that too.
