North Carolina high school seniors applying to college might want to target NC Countdown to College Week, October 15th to 19th, 2018, for applying to college. During that week, 39 North Carolina colleges and universities, not to mention, every North Carolina community college, will waive application fees.
The application fee for most colleges is $25 or $50, so if you’re applying to more than one school the savings will really add up.
NC Countdown to College Week used to be called College Application Week.
In addition to the waived application fees during NC Countdown to College Week, students will benefit from assistance from counselors and others at North Carolina high schools through the College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) application hub.
Throughout October, CFNC will give extra help to students as they fill out their Free Application for Federal Aid, or FAFSA, to determine eligibility for college aid, and use the Residency Determination Service to determine if they qualify for in-state tuition.
