ACAC Webinar: Why Host a College Application Event

The college application process can be intimidating and confusing, especially for students from low-income families and those who will be the first in their family to go to college. By joining the American College Application Campaign, high schools can develop strategies to ensure every senior has a plan and gets the opportunity to apply to college.
