Indiana Participates in National College Application Week, Sept. 20-24
High school seniors can apply to some Hoosier colleges for free
Thirteen Indiana colleges will waive college application fees during Indiana’s College Application
Week, September 20-24, according to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. Another 26 colleges have reported
free applications year-round.
College Application Week is part of Learn More Indiana’s annual College GO! initiative that takes place each August
through November with information and resources designed to help Hoosier K-12 students explore and plan for
education beyond high school. The official College GO! kick-off week is the last full week in September (Sept. 20-24). The
Friday prior, Sept. 17, is #WhyApply Day which is a social media campaign encouraging the public to share why it’s
important to apply to college.
“College GO! gives students of all ages the opportunity to understand the value of higher education and explore which
path is right for them after high school,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “We hope
Hoosier high school seniors will take advantage of College Application week and apply for free to their preferred Indiana
colleges.”
Indiana high school seniors can apply to the following Hoosier colleges for free between September 20 and 24:
