2024 CAW Highlights
Oklahoma’s College Application Week (CAW) 2024 was held September 23-27. While most schools held their CAW during the "official" week, many chose another week during the fall 2024 semester to host their event to accommodate their school calendars. THANK YOU to everyone who gave your time and amazing efforts to make this year's CAW a success!
Here are some highlights from CAW 2024:
- 142 high schools, higher education institutions and tribal partners registered for the event.
- 4,053 high school seniors participated in CAW events statewide and submitted over 7,900 college applications.
- Applications were sent to 240 colleges in 42 states and Washington, D.C.
At the end of CAW, the 142 site coordinators were asked to submit an exit survey reporting the number of seniors who participated and the number of college applications submitted. They were also given the opportunity to share the various activities they used to engage their students and to make their CAW a success. Each school that submitted an exit survey was considered as a nominee for the annual Oklahoma College Application Week School of Excellence Award.
We are thrilled to announce the winner of the 2024 College Application Week School of Excellence, Dove Science Academy High School in Tulsa! Please join us in congratulating Dove Science Academy High School, along with the previous winners of Oklahoma's School of Excellence Award:
