#WhyApplyDC

DC College Application and Exploration Month builds excitement and enthusiasm around the college application and exploration process and provides every graduating senior with the opportunity to complete their college applications during normal school hours with the help of volunteers.

Registered public and public charter high schools and community-based organizations in the District will receive free marketing materials and a DC College Application and Exploration Month site coordinator handbook and toolkit. OSSE requests that host sites provide at least one college and career exploration event during the month. If applicable, host sites should set aside designated space and time for graduating seniors (or adult learners) to complete at least one college application.

For more information about this exciting campaign, please contact Greg Palmer at [email protected].
