More than 200 Georgia high schools are holding seminars and other events this month to help seniors complete college applications and financial aid  forms. The activities are part of the state's annual "Georgia Apply to College Month" held during November. While the programs are open to all students, it targets those who are the first in their families to apply to college since they are most likely to find the process confusing and stressful. Students can apply online at gacollege411.org.
