College Application and Exploration Month

College Application and Exploration Month is a chance for the entire school community to discuss college options and promote college-going. Schools that are the most successful start small, then add components every year. Often, practices initiated for College Application and Exploration Month become infused within the school culture year-round.

Hundreds of elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, adult education classes, community centers, home school groups, and many other educational community groups across West Virginia participate each year.

Additional lessons, resources, and information are provided online. Typically, the school counselor serves as the event coordinator and registers the school or community group.
