What's the value of CAW?
When we piloted Oregon College Application Week last year, we started small. With just 7 sites, most of which were very small (serving fewer than 50 seniors), I was cautiously optimistic about what "success" would look like. I knew we wouldn't see the kinds of big numbers that move the needle, as they had in Minnesota. In their first year, they nearly tripled the number of applications entering the Minnesota State University system's institutions during the designated week!
College Application Week is growing!
In 2012, Oregon joined a targeted national effort to increase the number of low-income students who apply to college.
Seven pilot sites participated in Oregon's first-ever College Application Week, December 3-14. Students and site coordinators reported great successes!
