Class of 2010 Welcome Letter from Governor Perdue

The purpose of this event is to acquaint you with the CFNC.org application tools and to stress the importance of applying to college. In order to participate fully, prior to the week of November 16, you will need to have a My CFNC Account. Don't have one? Create a free account now.

In addition, please complete the Student Handbook & College Application Checklist. CFNC encourages all students to print and complete the College Application Checklist prior to the event as it has all the information needed to complete an online application. Your school's Site Coordinator (in many cases your guidance counselor) will have copies available in October.

Please check out the list of participating high schools (updated week of November 16, 2009). At these schools, counselors will be on hand to assist you. Remember, if your school is not participating, you can still apply online through CFNC.org!

Finally, please review the application fees and payment methods. Application fees vary by institution and several colleges have waived their application fee during College Application Week. If you used a fee waiver to take the SAT, you may also qualify for a college application fee waiver. If you think you may be eligible for an application fee waiver, contact your high school counselor.
