:: College Application Week For Educators::
As an educator or an involved community member, you have the unique opportunity to help make a student's dream of attending college come true just by helping them complete an application to college. Start by reviewing the information below. The information will help your organization get started with College App Week and provide materials you can share with your school, students, community and families.
For many students, particularly those who do not have an immediate family member who attended college, applying to college can be overwhelming. Having someone to encourage and help them navigate the college application process can open the door for students to pursue a postsecondary education. By implementing a College Application Week (CAW) program, high schools, libraries and community centers can ensure that all seniors have the opportunity to receive hands-on assistance as they take the first big step toward continuing their education following high school.
We hope you will find the information contained in this guide useful as you implement a program in your school, library or community center. If you have questions, please feel free to email us or call (405) 234-4239 or (800) 247-0420. To host an event, complete the College Application Week Event Registration.
