Michigan College Month

October is Michigan College Month, a statewide effort to help seniors take their next steps after high school by applying to college and for financial aid.

Many colleges even waive application fees this month, making it the perfect time to get started. Did you know that Career Tech Center students can earn free college credit while still in high school through articulated and direct credit opportunities? Combine that with free applications, and you’re already saving money while getting ahead on your future.

Other important dates:

  • October 13 & 14–Fall Break, No Classes
  • November 26-28– Thanksgiving Break, No Classes
