Colleges Still Seeking Applicants

Marla Platt • June 3, 2024

As of June 1, dozens of colleges and universities are still seeking qualified applicants

June is here, and College Signing Day has come and gone.  But did you know that MANY schools currently have openings for first years and transfers?  As of this writing, a number are still offering financial assistance and/or housing options as well.


If you know a student still seeking college or transfer admission, there is an excellent resource available to support their search. NACAC (National Association for College Admission Counseling) has published its annual listing of colleges and universities currently seeking applications.  The list is updated daily and is searchable by state, country, applicant status as well as potential availability of housing and financial assistance.
