Welcome to the Online Toolkit for Kentucky College Application Week! This year's pilot event is being held the week of November 14–18, 2011.

For many students, particularly those who do not have an immediate family member who attended college, applying to college can seem overwhelming. For those students, not having someone who can help them navigate the college application process can be enough to prevent them from pursuing a postsecondary education. By implementing a College Application Week program, we can ensure that all seniors have the opportunity to receive hands–on assistance as they take the first big step towards continuing their education following high school.

The Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) is pleased to sponsor Kentucky College Application Week as an initiative funded by the federal College Access Challenge Grant program. KHEAA and the following partners will provide support through resource materials and field staff counselors. Planning, scheduling and implementation of any or all of the suggestions in this Guide are the responsibility of the host school. Kentucky College Application Week advisory board members represent:

• Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE)
• GEAR UP Alliance
• Kentucky Association for College Admission Counseling (KYACAC)
• Kentucky Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (KACRAO)
• Kentucky Association of Educational Opportunity Program Personnel (KAEOPP)
• Kentucky Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (KASFAA)
• Kentucky Campus Compact
• Kentucky College Coaches Program
• Kentucky Counseling Association (KCA)
