October 24-28 is Virginia College Application Week (VCAW) and Danville Community College (DCC) is celebrating with five events across the City of Danville, Pittsylvania County, and Halifax County.
“Virginia College Application Week provides a structured opportunity and needed support for under-resourced Virginia high schools to help the region’s seniors apply to at least one college or university,” said Dr. Jerry Wallace. “In keeping with our mission, we plan to be first in line to provide that support to the high schools in our service area.”
To add to the excitement, Danville Community College Educational Foundation has donated three laptops to be given away to one lucky applicant in each area of the service region. Drawings will be held after the events conclude.
Event Schedule:
Galileo Magnet High School – October 24
Halifax County High School – October 24 and 25
Tunstall High School – October 25
Dan River High School – October 26
Gretna High School – October 26
George Washington High School – October 27
Chatham High School – October 27
“Our high school career coaches have planned special events at each of the high schools we serve to celebrate Virginia Application Week,” said Dr. Cornelius Johnson. “We are thrilled to be able to celebrate this exciting time with our area seniors in a special way."
In addition, FAFSA for the 22-23 academic year is open and students are able to receive assistance completing not only their college application, but their federal financial aid application as well.
“We know that the process of applying to college can feel overwhelming, especially for first-generation college students,” said Dr. Johnson. “Our staff is prepared to help students who wish to apply, every step of the way.”
