College Application Week: NC Countdown to College
College Application Week will be held Oct. 19th-23rd this year. This week-long event features free application fees for certain colleges and universities in North Carolina.
During NC Countdown to College week, counselors, senior advisors, mentors, and parents will help seniors submit online college applications for admission through the CFNC Application Hub. Throughout October, CFNC will also offer help to students as they complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for college aid, and use the Residency Determination Service to determine if they qualify for in-state tuition.
Students who want to take part in NC Countdown to College should create or update their profile on the CFNC website at www.cfnc.org. For more information, visit nccountdowntocollege.org.
Community Service
Students are allowed to submit community service hours for volunteering in their neighborhood (assisting neighbors with yard work, cleaning up the neighborhood park, etc.). We will also accept hours submitted for assisting younger siblings and children with online learning.
Students are also encouraged to explore virtual service options, including:
- Creating thank you cards for first-responders
- Writing letters to nursing home residents
- Virtual storytelling for children
- Creating/Donating DIY Facemasks
- Creating/Displaying COVID-19 Awareness signs
- Virtual volunteer tutoring for younger students
- Transcribe, review, and tag Library of Congress documents
Again, feel free to think outside of the box in regards to service and don't forget to submit your hours on our Online Community Service Form by the January 31st, 2021 deadline.
