COLLEGE APPLICATION WEEKS
September 30 - October 11, 2024
College Application Week provides high school seniors the opportunity to learn about Montana colleges and universities and complete a college application during the school day, thereby opening the door for many students who might not otherwise take this important step toward college.
CAW will be hosted in Mr. Williams's American Government clsses during the week of October 7th. School Counselors and representatives from Reach Higher Montana, Upward Bound, and Montana Talent Search will be in the classroom assisting students with applications and helping them set up their FSA IDs in preparation for the launch of the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) on December 1st.
Again this year:
- One common application for MT public schools at ApplyMontana.org.
- Application can be submitted to more than one public college!
- The application is free!
- Montana’s tribal colleges and private universities will also offer free applications during CAW, but students will need to apply through each school's website.
Last year, more than 7,900 students filled out an application during College Application Week and we anticipate even higher numbers this year! Participating high school seniors not only have an opportunity to apply to a college, but also have the opportunity to utilize the new central application at ApplyMontana.org to apply to any school in the Montana University System for FREE.
If you’re going out of state for college, you can still utilize CAW to get help with your application. Over 900 schools in the US use the national Common Application system, and over 400 of those schools don’t have application fees. You can check out the list of those schools, and start on that application process, through this link, using the Common App.

By reaching out, asking questions, and doing research, you can attend college, be successful and eventually have a career that fits your needs.
