October 27 is COLLEGE APPLICATION DAY!
SHS will be a bit busier than normal on October 27. Seniors are looking ahead to next fall and submitting college applications as part of College Application Month in North Dakota.
As an incentive to start planning early and participate in the activities, Bank of North Dakota is paying one $35 application fee per student when they apply to a North Dakota college.
SHS is one of more than 70 high schools across the state participating in College Application Month.
College Application Month is a part of a national effort to increase the number of people applying to college early in the year. Recent data distributed by the North Dakota Department of Commerce states that 41 percent of North Dakotans complete at least two years of college, but numbers fall significantly after that. Only 27 percent of North Dakotans achieve a bachelor's degree, and of that number, only 8 percent continue on to receive a graduate or professional degree. Bachelor's and professional/graduate degrees both fall below the national average.
We are grateful to our partners in banking, secondary education, and higher education for their assistance. This project is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate to young people in our state that they are valued and their communities are invested in their future," states Bank of North Dakota President/CEO Eric Hardmeyer. "A well-educated workforce is essential to support the state's economy."
In addition to Bank of North Dakota, other partners in the effort are the North Dakota Office of the Governor, North Dakota University System, and North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.
