National College Application Week, Nov. 18-22, is a national movement to help students recognize the need to apply early to various colleges. The earlier application date allows students greater financial/scholarship opportunities, more choices of colleges and more time to prepare for their college freshman year.

During College Application Week, the University of Alaska, working with several high schools and counselors around the state, will be encouraging high school seniors to apply to at least one college. The intention is to try and have someone available at each site to answer questions from students, and to help them with filling out applications.
