October is Michigan College Month — and it’s a great time to get those college applications submitted! Many Michigan colleges and universities are offering application fee waiver codes throughout October, and some schools offer FREE applications all year long.
We’re sharing resources to help you see where you can apply for free or at a reduced cost so application fees don’t get in the way of your next step.
Check out the flyers for:
October application fee waiver codes

Opportunities to save while building your college list
Don’t see the college you want to apply to on the list, but need an application fee waived? Talk with your CCAC advisor or school counselor — they may be able to help you explore additional fee waiver options!
Not sure where to start? The CCAC is here to help! Our advisors can support you with exploring colleges, completing applications, financial aid, and planning your next steps.
