SRES 449 United States Senate · 117th Congress

A resolution designating November 2021 as "National College Application Month".

SRES 449 designates November 2021 as "National College Application Month" through a Senate resolution. It encourages U.S. citizens to evaluate college options, submit financial aid applications (like the FAFSA), and support students in navigating college applications. The resolution specifically urges communities to host activities promoting college access, with emphasis on assisting low-income, first-generation, and minority students. It does not create new laws or funding but symbolically highlights efforts to address enrollment declines and barriers in higher education, particularly following pandemic-related disruptions. This is a procedural designation with no binding policy changes.
