North Carolina's annual campaign to support college access
October 2022
We’re excited that you will be participating in this year’s NC Countdown to College (C2C). Activities during the month support high school seniors in completing three important college enrollment steps: (1) Filing the FAFSA, (2) Using RDS to get in-state tuition and state grants, and (3) Submitting college applications.
College Application Week will run October 18th-22nd. Volunteers at hundreds of NC high schools will help students submit online admission applications, and many colleges will waive their application fees on CFNC.org. We encourage participating high schools and other sites to include activities not only for seniors applying to college, but for all students, including freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who can be preparing for their career and higher education journeys.
