College Application Month 2022
The goal of College Application Month is to provide a forum for all South Carolina high school seniors to complete and file college applications while receiving the assistance and resources they need to successfully access higher education. All you have to do is select a date, secure a space in your school or community (computer lab, library, etc.) and use our free materials on SCCANGO.org to advertise your event to seniors. We will provide the manpower/volunteers. Once again, with the assistance of the Carolina Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (CACRAO) College admission personnel from our colleges and universities will assist in these local school events that fall in your “preferred weeks”. If you sign up for a date during your preferred weeks, CACRAO and CHE will guarantee college admissions representation at your event if you register your school by no later than July 8th! The goal this year is to register at least 245 schools for College Application Month 2022!
