College Application Weeks: October 2-13, 2023

College Application Week, CAW, 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. 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.mus.edu to apply to any school in the Montana University System for FREE.  Montana’s tribal colleges and private universities will also offer free applications during College Application Week.
