Steps for Participating Students

Congratulations Senior!  You’re about to make some important strides toward reaching your goals.  To participate in Nevada’s College Application Month (CAM), follow these 4 easy steps:

STEP 1: Tell us about your Career and College Aspirations!  By clicking here you agree to participate in a voluntary student survey about career and college aspirations which will help us improve this program.  Your participation is voluntary and anonymous.  Click here for the informed consent and additional information about the survey.  When you are done with the survey (which should open in a separate tab), be sure to move to STEP 2.

STEP 2: Apply to your college or university of choice!  During CAM, you will receive support in your high school to apply to college in Nevada and/or out-of-state.  If you’d like to apply to a public college or university in Nevada, we’ve made it easy for you – take a look below.  Click on a college logo to reach their admissions page.

STEP 3: Create your FSA ID now!  This way, you’ll be able to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as it opens on January 1, 2016.  To fully create your FSA ID, you will need to go through a verification process through your email.  If your school does not allow you to access email, they may give you permission to use a phone or alternative device.  Otherwise, you will need to complete the verification process from home tonight.

STEP 4: Follow the specific follow-up directions dependent upon your school site.  Click on your school name to see what you should do now.
