It's a big week for anyone applying to college in North Carolina. All week long, you can save money and apply to NC colleges for free.
More than 100 colleges and universities across the state are waiving application fees for this week only.
The average college application fee is about $55, so this could benefit a lot of families. Especially if you or your high school senior is applying to multiple schools, those fees can add up.
Students must apply through the College Foundation of North Carolina’s website to opt out of the application fee.
