College Application Month
College Application Month Activities by grade level and date
October is Countdown to College Month! This month is about future planning for all students. All seniors expected to graduate in June 2024 will be encouraged to use the CFNC.org online application to apply for admission to a North Carolina college or university if they have not already done so. October the 16th marks College Application Week which makes applying to select NC colleges FREE! Click HERE for the full list!
SENIORS PREPARE BEFORE THE 16th: Students and their families will need to work together to prepare because parent information is essential to complete RDS and FSA ID. CFNC provides a helpful chart of parent and student information needed to complete the FSA ID and RDS. We encourage all students to print and review the College Application Checklist prior to the event.
