Let the countdown begin.

From Monday, Oct. 16-Friday, Oct. 20, participating NC colleges (including UNC Asheville) will celebrate College Application Week by waiving their application fees — making next week the week to apply.

This event comes on the cusp of UNC Asheville announcing Access Asheville, a new financial aid program that guarantees full tuition and fees for qualified NC residents whose annual family income is $80,000 or less (positively impacting more than half of NC families).

Your future awaits, RAL.
