NC Countdown to College Site Registration
North Carolina's annual campaign to support college access
We're excited that you will participate in this year's NC Countdown to College (C2C). Activities support high school seniors in completing three important college enrollment steps: (1) Completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), (2) Using the Residency Determination Service (RDS) to get in-state tuition and state grants, and (3) Submitting college applications.
College Application Week will run from October 21 to 27, 2024. Volunteers at hundreds of NC high schools will help students submit online admission applications, and many colleges will waive their application fees on CFNC.org.
Please be on the lookout for virtual site coordinator training coming in August. This training will be useful for new and seasoned site coordinators, and everyone is encouraged to attend. In addition, we will hold our Educator Professionals training in September. We encourage participating high schools and other sites to include activities not only for seniors applying to college, but for all students, including freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who can be preparing for their career and higher education journeys.
Please fill out all of the fields below. Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation email with all of this information included for your records. Registration packets with information will be sent out soon to all sites.
*Please note that beginning with C2C 2025, we will auto-register all C2C 2024 sites. You will still receive a confirmation email, general registration will still be open if needed, and a questionnaire will be sent to update contact information and senior class information.
As part of your registration, you agree to submit C2C and CAW participation data in November. More information will be sent out as that time gets closer. Thank you for all that you do!
