COLORADO FREE APPLICATION DAY IS OCTOBER 15

Are you a Colorado student planning to apply to a Colorado school soon?

Mark Tuesday, Oct. 15, on your calendar. It’s Colorado Free Application Day.

What is Colorado Free Application Day?
For the second year in a row, the Colorado Department of Higher Education has teamed up with colleges and universities all across the state of Colorado to waive college application fees for all Colorado students on Tuesday, October 15, 2019. That means if you submit your application between 12:01 a.m. and 11:59 p.m. that day, you can apply for free to any public Colorado institution and many private institutions.

Last year, Colorado students submitted almost 23,000 applications to Colorado colleges and universities for the state’s first free application day. Officials from the state are hoping even more students take advantage of the opportunity this year.

Autoinsurance.org's Phone Use and Driving Award

Our Scholarship
Over 26% of all US car crashes involve phone use and, unfortunately, young drivers make up the majority of this statistic. Our work in this industry means that we feel we have a responsibility to help raise awareness regarding this issue and to try to encourage young drivers to reflect on their potentially dangerous phone habits.

According to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration survey “20% of drivers age 18-20 said texting does not affect their driving, and nearly 30% of drivers ages 21-34 said texting has no impact”.

This startling information proves that despite there being laws in many places as a deterrent, and the information already available, phone use and driving are still taking place every day. Statistics show that “At any moment 9% of drivers are talking on a cell phone”; in light of this, we can see how raising awareness about this issue is paramount.

Our scholarship aims to collate written work from young drivers and we hope this ongoing body of work will serve as an addition to phone use and driving safety awareness. This award will be judged on the applicant’s ability to balance up-to-date and reputable research with their own reflections on their age group’s relationship with their phone and driving and the wider impacts this can have.

Scholarship Amount
$1,000

Eligibility
All applicants must be enrolled, or due to be enrolled, as a full-time student at an accredited US college or university for the semester that they are applying to receive the scholarship.
Applicants are not required to have a minimum GPA average of 3.0.
Applicants must be no older than 25.
Applicants are not required to have a specific major.
Applicants must be learning to drive, or have their license.
Domestic, international, and undocumented students may apply.
Students attending online universities are welcome to apply.
Essay Details
Please write an 800-1,000-word essay answering the following questions:
What do you think about your generation’s relationship with their phones? Why do you think that many young drivers feel that their phone use when driving is not dangerous?
Considering your research on information published in the last 5 years, what are the most surprising findings you’ve made?
In conclusion of your research for this essay, and in consideration of what you have written, what actions do you think you will undertake to promote young driver safety awareness?
Your essay will be judged in consideration of:
Ability to balance sourced and cited information with personal reflection
Ability to answer all questions in full within word limit
Spelling and grammar
Personality

10 Ways To Jumpstart College Planning
It’s easy to get overwhelmed when thinking about college. You need to figure out ways to make yourself a more desirable college applicant, study effectively for those standardized tests looming in the near future and come up with an action plan that will determine where you’ll be applying to, and how you’ll pay for it. If you’ve only just begun your high school career, don’t waste a great opportunity to start taking the steps now to jumpstart college planning. It’s never too early to consider the classes that will look good on the transcripts you’ll be sending as a prospective applicant, for example, or making sure your academic record looks as good as it can. With enrollments increasing at many of the top schools, college is only becoming more competitive, and it’ll serve you well to start thinking about where you see yourself after your high school graduation early. If you’re approaching the end of your high school career, it’s still not too late to improve how you’ll come across on that college application and get ready for a busy year of big decisions.
Check out our 10 ways to jumpstart college planning below to help you feel a little less stressed about what you need to do before applying – and getting into – college, and browse through our site for helpful information and tips on every step of the college and financial aid application process.
1. Get Involved
Getting ready for college isn't all work. Find something you really like doing, then dive into it. Maybe you're drawn to sports, student council, music, art ... you get the picture. You'll develop skills and be more appealing to colleges (they like students who'll add something to campus life).
2. Do the Work
If you expect to go to college later, expect to study now. No one can do it for you. Don't talk the college talk – "I'll go to college to get a great career" – without walking the walk.
3. Take Challenging Courses
Colleges look at your grades, sure, but also at how difficult your courses are. They want to see that you've challenged yourself. Plus, if you pursue advanced courses, such as AP®, you may be able to get college credit.
4. Get Help
Having trouble in a class? Many schools have peer tutors, students in upper grades who'll help you (for free). Talk to teachers or counselors – let them know you want extra help.
5. Read
Read at least 30 minutes every day, beyond study and homework. Read what interests you – magazines, novels, whatever. People who read more know more. And when you take PSAT/NMSQT™, ACT, and SAT® tests, knowing more will really pay off.
6. Don't Delay
You take the PSAT/NMSQT or ACT as a junior (or even as a sophomore). So you have a few semesters before then to take the solid math and other courses that get you ready.
7. Get the College-Bound Facts
How do you know all the right moves to get into college? Ask someone who's done it. Get to know your counselors. Ask a career planner at a local college, or a trusted teacher. Do Web research.
8. Involve Your Family
When parents or guardians haven't been to college themselves, they may think they can't help you. That's not true. They can talk to counselors and help you stay on the right path.
9. Look For a Mentor
If you don't find support at home, look for other adults who can lend their enthusiasm and help make sure you succeed. You might look to a counselor, a teacher, or someone else you trust.
10. Confront Personal Roadblocks
If you have a problem that is really getting in the way of schoolwork, try to sort it out. Talking to friends helps. Or look for an adult – parent, coach, nurse, counselor – who can offer advice.

50 ways to spend your summer
If your family has the means to send you to shear sheep in Tibet this summer, knock yourself out. But please don’t do it because you think you need a splashy or expensive summer experience to get into college.
One of the many ways the college admissions process has spun out of control is kids planning their summers based on what they think will be most impressive to colleges, often at great expense. What colleges are really interested in is how you chose to spend your time, and a summer spent bagging groceries can have just as much meaning as one spent at Harvard Summer School. In fact, one of the best essays I’ve ever read was a student who worked at a hamburger stand who began his essay, “I make a mean hamburger. In fact, I’m a professional.”
In 2009, I started publishing this list of 50 ways to spend your summer, all of which are free or almost free, and none of which require that you forgo hanging out with your friends, sleeping in occasionally, or goofing off with regularity. Pick one that looks interesting, or use it as motivation to think of your own way to carve out a great summer for yourself.
50 Ways to Spend Your Summer
1. Take an interesting class at your local community college.
2. Get a part-time job at the mall.
3. See how many books you can read this summer.
4. Work in your family's business. Consider doing so for free.
5. Think of ten people–teachers, coaches, family members, relatives–who deserve your thanks. Write them a hand-written letter of at least one page expressing your appreciation and detailing how they've impacted you. Tell them what you're going to do to make them proud and spend the summer doing it.
6. Take saxophone lessons.
7. Coach little league. Or basketball. Or soccer.
8. Work at a summer camp.
9. Volunteer at the local mobile health clinic, or the animal shelter, or the public library.
10. Tutor kids.
11. Start a business with your friends.
12. Set a goal that you are 99% certain you won't be able to achieve this summer. Then go all out and try to achieve it as though your life depended on it. You'll either get there or get much, much closer than you were at the beginning of the summer.
13. Learn how to write computer programs.
14. Read to the blind.
15. Teach something.
16. Learn to paint.
17. Pick something that really interests you and see how far you can go with it.
18. Take classes to become an emergency medical technician.
19. Learn sign language.
20. Pick a cause in your community that you care about. Find groups who care about it, too. Organize people.
21. Offer to intern for free someplace where the work seems interesting, like the city councilman's office, or an advertising agency, or the local newspaper.
22. Play guitar at coffee shops and see how much money you can make this summer.
23. Learn CPR.
24. Cook dinner for your family once a week. Each time, learn a new dish that you prepare. Write your recipes down and make your own family cookbook.
25. Volunteer to lead tours of local state parks.
26. Buy a college guidebook and learn as much as you can about 20 colleges you know nothing about today.
27. Raise money for someone or something that needs it.
28. Learn something that is pure fun, like bongos or hip hop dance or how to make your own purses (check out your local community colleges' "community education" programs).
29. Pick something you love and figure out how to use it to make contributions to others, like playing piano in a jazz band, teaching residents at a retirement home how to use a computer, or helping run the lights for a play at the community theater.
30. Work full time and give all the money to a charity of your choice at the end of the summer.
31. Pick a subject that fascinates you and challenge yourself to learn as much as possible about it.
32. Learn karate.
33. Teach karate.
34. Join a book club.
35. Organize a book club.
36. Go to your school principal and ask what you could do, for free, to improve the school. You could paint a classroom, clean lockers, or refurbish the lunch benches. Better yet, enlist five friends to do it with you. Don't just tell colleges you want to make an impact. Make one.
37. Set a goal to learn as many new things as possible this summer–facts, skills, concepts, etc. Write a blog detailing what you've learned so you can share it with cyberspace.
38. Build an iphone app.
39. Master one subject or skill you currently don't know anything about.
40. Hold informal soccer conditioning workouts, or barbecues for the new student council members so you can get to know each other better, or meetings at Starbucks with your co-editors to brainstorm story ideas for the paper this fall. Show colleges you can organize people and lead them.
41. Have a neighborhood bake sale for the French Club in which all sales are conducted in French.
42. Get a group of kids from the drama club together and enroll in an improv class.
43. Pick a classic author and read all of his or her works. Find out what all the fuss is about Twain or Hemingway or Plath or Dickinson.
44. Take the hardest college class you can find and enroll in it "not-for-credit" so you can challenge yourself with impunity.
45. Visit as many colleges as you can in a 30 mile radius of your house. Take your friends with you. Write your own reviews of each school and share them with people.
46. Learn to cut and style hair. You'll be a savior during prom season.
47. Vow not to watch any TV this summer. Not one single second. Pick something cool and fun and productive to do instead.
48. Find a class offered at a local college that looks fascinating. Email the professor and ask if you can sit in on a session or two just to experience what the class is like.
49. Train to run a 10k, or a half-marathon, or a marathon, or to do a triathlon. And get your friends to join and train with you. Consider raising money with your efforts and donating to a worthy cause.
50. Pick the five most enticing things on this list and do them. At the end of the summer, email me at kevinm (at) collegewise.com and tell me about your experiences. I'd love to hear from you, and if you give me permission, I'll share your story here on our blog.

SAT and ACT Continue preparing for SAT or ACT - If you’ve already taken one or both tests and think you can improve your score (or think that you might be able to do better on the other test, if you’ve only taken one), then continue to study to schedule a time to take it again.
Standardized tests are not like the tests you take in school, and preparation can make a huge difference (how well do you remember every subject that you’ve studied throughout your high school career? Getting a quick refresher certainly can’t hurt!)
If colleges require the SAT or ACT, those test scores will play a role in the college admissions decisions. In addition, many colleges use your test scores (in addition to grades and your class rank) to determine financial aid. Not only does a better score give you a boost in admissions odds, but also it can pay off big time in the form of financial aid that could dramatically reduce your cost of college.

SAT and ACT Testing Dates 6/14 – ACT registration deadline for the 7/13 test
7/26 – SAT registration deadline for the 8/24 test
8/2 – ACT registration deadline for the 9/7 test
9/6 – SAT registration deadline for the 10/5 test
