ATTENTION SENIORS:

• On Thursday, October 29th we will host a special event: "The College Application Campaign Kickoff"

The Connecticut College Application Campaign is part of a national initiative with the goal to provide every graduating high school senior the opportunity to apply to college and for financial aid. Special focus is placed on assisting students who would be the first in their families to attend college and students who may not have otherwise seriously considered applying to college. The Connecticut College Application Campaign can open the door for students by encouraging them to take the most significant steps toward college in their senior year and emphasizes the relationship between applying to and paying for college and helps break down some of the most complex and commonly cited barriers to attending college.

During the day, seniors will participate in workshops focused on their level of interest and current "college knowledge".

Below are the sessions that seniors will attend:

• College Planning 101, 201, 301

• College Essay 101, 201, 301

• Completing the Common App

• Department of Labor- Apprenticeships
