Abstract
Students will participate in a week of events that engage them in higher education opportunities. Presenters will discuss activities implemented in the previous year’s Apply to College Week and considerations for the current year’s implementation. Activities will address college options, HOPE programs, student perspectives on making the most of high school, student experiences on what it’s like to be a college student and navigate financial aid, and will feature college application and instant decision opportunities.
