NYC schools chancellor continues push to get more high schoolers college bound
365 NYC Schools Participating in College Application Week This Year - Less than Half the City’s Total
Public high school educators across the city will be driving home a special message to their students this week: Think college.
Schools Chancellor Carmen Farina announced Monday that a record 365 New York City high schools – 115 of them in Brooklyn — will participate in College Application Week, which runs Oct. 17-21.
Now in its fourth year, College Application Week promotes college awareness in all high school grade levels by holding college application and financial aid sessions; bringing students on visits to local college campuses; hosting question-and-answer seminars for students and their families, decorating school hallways and classrooms with college posters and even having staff and alumni wear college gear around high school campuses.
