<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Greetings, High School Counselors!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">College Application Week (CAW) 2020 is a nationwide effort sponsored by the American College Application Campaign. Each year, schools have the opportunity to host
their own unique CAW to encourage high school seniors to submit at least one online college application during their designated week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The ‘official’ week for this year’s CAW is September 21-25; however, if that week doesn’t work for you, you’re free to choose any week you wish, September through
November. You’re not required to have special activities every day of the week; the main goal of CAW is to give every high school senior the opportunity to apply to a college during school hours while knowledgeable volunteers are standing by. Some schools
host a College Application Day if they’re not able to plan for a whole week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Here are some things you should know as you begin your College App Week preparations:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

enroll your school. Schools who register for CAW will receive a free ‘I Applied’ sticker for each student who participates, as well as free posters to promote the event. Schools holding their events virtually can take advantage of our online promotional materials
or request the printed materials when they register.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We’ve brought back information about application fees at most of the public and private colleges and universities in Oklahoma. Look for the list of fees in the Event Coordinator packet at
</span><a href="https://www.ocap.org/caw/"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">OKCollegeAppWeek.org</span></a><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">. Some colleges may still be submitting this information to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher
Education, so the information we publish in our materials will show the application fees that applied to the

<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Enlist as many volunteers as you can. High school juniors involved in student government can play a big part. Be sure to have one or more volunteers posted in the computer lab, classroom or media center to collect
information as the students complete their applications.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;margin-left:0in;mso-add-space:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3">

College Application Campaign in December and will automatically qualify your school as a candidate for Oklahoma’s CAW 2020
