HRES 802 United States House · 117th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of November 2021 as "National College Application Month".

HRES 802 is a symbolic House resolution designating November 2021 as "National College Application Month." It encourages all students - particularly those from low-income backgrounds, first-generation college applicants, and students of color - to explore higher education options, complete financial aid applications (like the FAFSA), and access support resources. The resolution urges communities, schools, and officials to promote college application awareness during this month, highlighting barriers like high student-to-counselor ratios and complex financial aid systems. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise awareness about college access challenges identified during the pandemic.
