UCAW Week October 4-8th at the Advanced Learning Center

 UCAW WEEK (UTAH COLLEGE WEEK) October 5-7th

UCAW week is the week of October 5-7 th.   It is such a fun, planned week for the seniors. Ms. Grant goes to a lot of work to help the seniors be aware and also apply to the colleges the seniors may want to apply for.

The counselor will be going into the English classes of all the seniors to help students apply for colleges.  If your senior is not in our ALC ENGL 1010 course, they will be participating in Utah College Application week back at their home high school either this week or next week.

The goal of UCAW is to provide every high school senior at our partner schools the opportunity to complete at least one college or university application during the school day,  with a particular focus on students who would be the first in their families to attend college, low-income students, or students who may not have otherwise considered applying.

UCAW is part of the American College Application Campaign, and the ACT Center for  Equity in Learning (ACAC/ACT)

 ACAC/ACT is a national effort to increase college access through sharing ideas, developing practices, and providing technical assistance for the implementation of a college application event. 

UCAW happens every October in high schools around the state.

So how do you apply?

Go to the Keys to Success website at  http://www.ktsutah.com 

It will have a comprehensive UCAW how-to geared towards students. Directing students to this page will give students direct links to the applications of Utah colleges and universities as well as additional information on required documents, transcripts, financial aid, and scholarships. 

It's best to apply for college as early as you can- October or November of your senior year in high school.

 That way you get the best opportunities for early admission and scholarship funding.

GOOD LUCK.

What a fun time in your life.
