For the second year in a row, the baby直播app Department of Higher Education is leading听,听an initiative to inspire more Coloradans to pursue postsecondary education opportunities.听During last year鈥檚 campaign,听baby直播app colleges received 23,000 applications,听which was听12%听higher than the same听period听in 2017.听Students of color听submitted half of the applications听and first-generation students听submitted a third.听

baby直播app has听one of the most educated鈥痺orkforces in the country. However, according to the听,听only 56%听of baby直播app high school听graduates听enrolled in听a postsecondary institution听in baby直播app听or听another state听during the fall semester听following听high school听graduation. Of the 2016 high school graduates, 42.9% enrolled at a baby直播app college or university and 13% attended college out of state.听

To reverse that trend, the state鈥檚 higher education officials and campus leaders are calling on Coloradans to apply for college on Free Application Day.听baby直播app 33% of first-year college听students in baby直播app received a federal Pell Grant in 2016, which tends to imply that a free college application day may encourage students to explore more colleges.听
