DANVILLE, KY—Prospective students who want to become members of the Centre College class of 2011 should have their applications completed and postmarked by Feb. 1.

Seniors can complete the two-part paper application and submit it by mail or can apply online (with no fee). Centre also accepts the Common Application.

The window to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is from Jan. 1 to March 1. See Centre's financial aid page for more information. More than 80 percent of Centre students receive financial assistance, nearly 60 percent receive need-based financial aid, and more than half receive merit-based scholarships.

Timely applicants will receive admission decisions by March 15, with scholarship and aid notification following in late March.

High school juniors interested in attending the College should mark March 3 and May 1 on their calendars for Centre's Junior Day Open Houses.
