November 2023 Designated as National College Application Month

The US Senate designated November 2023 as National College Application Month to highlight the critical role of higher education in economic mobility and growth. The resolution encourages citizens, parents, and schools to actively support students in the application process and in applying for federal and state financial aid. The goal is to reduce barriers, especially for low-income and first-generation college students.
Key points
Encourages citizens to evaluate higher education options and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or appropriate state financial aid applications.
Urges communities, parents, and educators to increase support for high school students navigating complex college research and application processes.
Reinforces that higher education significantly improves lifetime earnings and reduces unemployment rates compared to holding only a high school diploma.
