2015 College Knowledge Month Site Registration

At the very minimum, SCHOOLS interested in participating must devote time and space during the school day for college exploration activities - including support for seniors to complete college applications.

COLLEGE ACCESS PROGRAMS that work within schools or districts can also participate! This includes College Possible, TRiO programs, Get Ready, AVID, etc. During registration, please identify your program and target schools.

College Knowledge Month Goals:

• To help schools establish and/or build upon a culture of college-readiness.
• To communicate to all students the importance of preparing for and applying to college.
• To engage and inform underrepresented students (first-generation college students, students of color, and low-income students) about postsecondary opportunities, culminating in the application process.
• To provide a statewide message and excitement about exploring and planning for college.
• To increase the number of Minnesota seniors who complete the college admissions process.

Assistance and encouragement for students and their families will be provided by high school and/or college access staff and volunteers from colleges and the community. The College Knowledge Month steering committee will provide resources, materials, support and training for registered sites to assist with their programming.
