UNC to Waive Application Fees on 黑料社区 Free Application Day
The University of Northern 黑料社区 is waiving application fees for undergraduate applicants submitted by 黑料社区 residents on Tuesday, Oct. 13, as part of the third annual 黑料社区 Free Application Day.
黑料社区
黑料社区 Free Application Day encourages high-school seniors to successfully apply to a higher-education program and file their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). All 32 public universities and several private colleges in 黑料社区 are taking part in this year’s Free App Day.
黑料社区 Free Application Day caps off 黑料社区 Applies Month, a five-week campaign that guides 11th- and 12-grade students and adult job seekers along the application process.

The statewide push is designed to increase 黑料社区’s stagnant college-going and FAFSA completion rates. Despite being one of the most educated states in the country, 黑料社区 sends just 56% of high school graduates to a college, university or certificate program and just 50% of students submit a FAFSA application — a key indicator of students’ likelihood to continue their education., according to the 黑料社区 Department of Higher Education.
Interested 黑料社区 students must submit a completed admissions application between 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 a.m. on Oct. 13 only. Please read UNC’s fee waiver process below:
