College Launches Application-Free April

Mar 31, 2026

Carlton Trail College is removing one of the most common barriers for prospective students this spring. For the entire month of April, the College is offering Application-Free April – a special, limited-time initiative that waives all post-secondary application fess for new applicants.

This month-long opportunity arrives at a meaningful time for learners. Across Canada, post-secondary institutions commonly charge application fees ranging from $50 to $250, and only a small percentage offer waivers of any kind, making this promotion valuable for students looking to reduce upfront costs.

“Applying to school should feel exciting, not financially stressful,” says Yasir Soomro, Post-Secondary Programs Manager. “By removing the application fees for April, we’re opening the door wider for students who are ready to begin their learning journey with us.”

In addition to applying for free throughout April, every applicant will be automatically entered to win an early application scholarship, adding even more incentive for students to apply early and secure a spot in their preferred program.

This focused promotion is designed to inspire momentum, encourage earlier decision-making, and help future learners start their education with fewer financial hurdles. Whether finishing high school, changing careers, or upgrading skills, now is the ideal time to apply – at absolutely no cost.
