The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education in collaboration with the South Carolina Department of Education is pleased to announce October 2013 as College Application Month. Throughout the month of October, high schools across the state will host College Application Day events to assist students with the college application process. The goal of College Application Month is to provide a forum for all South Carolina seniors to complete and file college applications. While much of the focus of College Application Month is geared toward first-generation college students and students who may not otherwise apply to college, we encourage participating high schools to include activities for all students, including freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have already applied to college.
