Lincoln County Schools

October is NC Countdown to College Month🎓🏫 NC Countdown to College (C2C) is a month-long initiative to help high school seniors learn more about taking three important college enrollment steps: residency, applying for financial aid, and college applications. Many North Carolina colleges and universities participate in C2C by waiving application fees during College Application Week (CAW) - a great way to save on college costs! This year, CAW begins on October 21 at 7:30 a.m. and ends on October 27 at 11:59 p.m. Reach out to your school counselor for more information. #lincolnleads
