The Common App is accepted by 1,000+ public and private colleges worldwide, including 35 in Indiana. The organization has set a moonshot goal to increase the number of students from low- and middle-income communities applying to college by 2030. Join this webinar to learn about connecting your students with college and scholarship opportunities through Common App. We’ll discuss data insights and resources you can use to advise and celebrate students on their postsecondary journey.

Learning Objectives

Attendees will leave the webinar knowing how to:

• Use data to understand the college application pipeline equity gap as it relates to socioeconomic status and other demographics
• Discuss equity-based initiatives to remove barriers in the application process, particularly for students belonging to historically underrepresented or marginalized communities
• Identify where to access free advising tools and resources to support college application completion
