DENVER — Anyone looking to apply to college in the state will have an opportunity to do so for free next week.
Colorado's 2025 Free Application Days will be next Tuesday, October 7 through Thursday, October 9. During this time, all 32 public colleges and universities, along with several private schools in the state, will waive their application fees.
The initiative aims to remove financial barriers that prevent students from pursuing higher education and make it free for anyone to submit an application. Find more information here.
The free application period caps off Colorado Applies Month, a five-week campaign encouraging high school students and adults to continue their education.
October 1 was an important time for Colorado's public schools as they participate in what's known as the Student October Count. Districts are asked to report all students who are actively enrolled to the state.
This is important because the number of students each district has factors into how much money they're given by the state, and public schools have seen a drop in enrollment.
Results of this count will be released in January.
Denver7 is committed to making a difference in our community by standing up for what's right, listening, lending a helping hand and following through on promises. See that work in action, in the videos above.
