ApplyNH
The American College Application Campaign (ACAC) is a national effort to help high school seniors navigate the college admissions process and increase the number of students who submit college applications, with a particular focus on first-generation and low-income students. College and career access professionals volunteer to work with seniors during school time to complete and submit at least one application to a post-secondary program of their choice. All 50 states participate in this national initiative!
New Hampshire’s College Application Campaign is called ApplyNH (formerly I Am College Bound), which Granite Edvance proudly facilitates each year.
This fall, students in more than 70 high schools across the state are participating in the ApplyNH campaign, receiving in-school support and guidance with their applications to college and/or career preparation programs. Read more here.

ApplyNH
By giving students direct access and support to apply to college or a career preparation program, we help them become more confident in their application process and encourage them to explore all options. While a main focus of this campaign is the first generation college student population, all seniors at participating schools are welcome — regardless of their future plans. This campaign also supports larger state goals of encouraging students to pursue post-secondary education and achieve career success right here in New Hampshire.
