Host Your Own College Signing Day Event!

Last year, we celebrated over 1,250 events in ALL 50 states and even had some international events. This year, we want to activate even more schools and communities. We encourage you to host an event at a date and time that works best for your community. We hope you’re up for the challenge! Mrs. Obama will be hosting her own College Signing Day event on May 5th.

Here is how you can get involved:

The money can be used to buy supplies from a list of over 20 vendors. To be in the running to receive the money, please follow these steps:
1. Register your event on https://www.bettermakeroom.org/college-signing-day/.
2. Go to http://www.donorschoose.org/teachers and create a teacher account.
3. Create a project for the materials you need for College Signing Day, up to $400.
4. Once your project has been screened by the DonorsChoose.org team, you will be notified. Make a $500 donation to support your own project and enter your 10-digit gift code when checking out. This code expires May 31st, 2017.
Students: Please remember for the vast majority of post secondary institutions around the country, you must choose among your offers of admission and institutionally-affiliated financial aid and scholarships by May 1.

We are SO excited to continue celebrating students around the country and all of their accomplishments during this year’s College Signing Day.
