Click here to go to the College in Colorado web site for some important information including calendars and checklists for the month of October so you will be ready to submit your free applications during College Appreciation Week.
Colorado’s occupational/technical, two-year and four-year post-secondary schools will offer waived application fees* during the week of November 1 — November 8, 2009. Follow the links below for more information. (*Some schools are waiving application fees for economic hardship or students who qualify for free or reduced lunch only. Please read the waiver language regarding eligibility carefully.)
To help you prepare your college applications, join the Great Campus Chase. Take virtual tours for each school and look for the little Taco Bell beside different school names each day. Take that school’s virtual tour to download your coupon for a free Frutista Freeze from Taco Bell.
