It's College Application Week — apply this week to save on application fees

North Carolina is observing College Application Week, part of its 'Countdown to College' campaign, from October 19 to October 25. During this period, many colleges and universities across the state are waiving application fees for students applying through the College for North Carolina's (CFNC) application hub. The initiative also highlights the opening of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the direct admission program, NC College Connect, which now includes direct admission to local community colleges for eligible students.
