ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï is Hosting its Third Free App Day

The ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï has initiated its own Free App Days where anyone, anywhere in the world can apply as an undergraduate to ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï without paying the $50 application fee. This is in addition to the state-initiated, Colorado-only Free App Day that takes place each fall.

“We are excited to offer our own Free App Days because we see this as an opportunity to continually serve our student population that includes a large percentage of first-generation college students, especially this year due to the educational disruptions caused by COVID-19,” said Dave Fedorchak, Ed.D., director of Admissions at ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï.

Colorado Free App Day is an initiative started by the Colorado Department of Higher Education in 2018, in partnership with Colorado colleges and universities, to make it possible for more students to apply for college. While this event provides great access for in-state students, this year ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï’s Admissions team decided to extend the opportunity to out-of-state and international students, as well as for students who are completing their applications later in the year.

During the event, a Virtual Application Workshop will be available from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. (MDT), April 1, for interested prospective students to join for support.

The first Free App Day that ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï hosted on Dec. 1 received a total of 933 applications from prospective students from 37 states and nine countries. The second event was on Feb. 1 with a total of 454 received applications from 35 states and seven countries.
