SRES 456 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution designating November 2023 as "National College Application Month".

SRES 456 designates November 2023 as "National College Application Month" to raise awareness about higher education opportunities. The resolution encourages students, families, and educators to evaluate college options, submit financial aid applications (like the FAFSA), and support students navigating the application process. It highlights barriers like high student-to-counselor ratios (408:1) and declining enrollment, but the resolution itself is non-binding and focuses on awareness, not policy changes. This procedural resolution directly affects students, counselors, and communities through designated outreach activities in November 2023.
