ApplyKS Event - 10/5/2020, from 2-3:30 p.m. in the New HS Gymnasium
The first step in going to college is to apply! Apply Kansas, is an annual statewide campaign in which MVHS conducts an event to help seniors apply to college w/their peers & w/help, guidance & a cheering squad from school staff, local community supporters, & post-secondary volunteers.
In partnership with the American College Application Campaign, Apply Kansas is a month-long, state-wide initiative to increase the number of students applying, enrolling and succeeding in college or other post-secondary goals.
Parents/Guardians- If you would like to attend the ApplyKS event to assist your senior in the application process, please let me know. Some applications have associated costs, and the students often do not plan on having a means to pay for the application during this event.
For more information about ApplyKS, go here: https://www.kansasregents.org/students/apply-kansas
