The five local high schools in Clare and Gladwin counties,
along with Coleman High School, will be are
joining more than 200 high schools around the state in presenting Michigan’s
fourth annual College Application Week. The Clare-Gladwin Career Center, Mid Michigan
Community College, and Educational Talent Search have joined efforts to assist the
region’s graduating seniors in completing and submitting at least one
application to any of Michigan’s community colleges, independent colleges, and
universities in which they are interested.
“The goal of the program is to give students the tools and
guidance they need to successfully apply to college,” said Clare-Gladwin Career
Center Counselor Margie Dill. “It is our hope this process will give kids
additional confidence and drive to continue to submit applications - in turn
providing them with more options for their future.”
Leading up to and during College Application Week, area high
school seniors will be participating in various activities designed to help expand
their knowledge of the technical schools, colleges and universities in
Michigan. The goal is to have students well-informed about their opportunities
so they will be prepared when their school hosts Application Day.
Representatives from Mid Michigan Community College, Saginaw
State University, Central Michigan University, the Clare-Gladwin Career Center,
and Educational Talent Search will be at the participating schools to assist
students in the application process.
There will be opportunities for application fee waivers during this time
to ensure all students can apply to the schools of their choice.
Farwell High School is scheduled to host its Application Day
on Monday, November 3. Gladwin and
Harrison high schools will host on November 4, followed by Coleman High School
on November 5, Beaverton High School on November 6, and Clare High School on
November 7.
Established in 2005, College Application Week is a national
campaign sponsored by the Michigan College Access Network committed to the
common goal of increasing the percentage of first-generation and low-income
students to pursue a postsecondary education.
Last year, 534 applications were submitted by students from Clare and
Gladwin counties as a result of Michigan College Application Week.
