Free college application period opens up for South Dakota students
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KEVN) – If you’re thinking about attending college anytime soon, this could be the perfect time to start the process.
It’s National Higher Education Month, and educational partners in South Dakota have launched the annual free college application period. In the past, the initiative would run for one week; that’s when students could apply to any state, technical, or public college for free, but now the state has extended the time to apply from one week to two months.
“The goal is to get rid of cost barriers to going to college and also to really encourage students to research their future and the opportunities available to them here in South Dakota,” said South Dakota Board of Regents system academic program manager Molly Weisgram.
The South Dakota Board of Regents is working with schools across the state to get students interested in their post-secondary education by adding a tool kit to the Dakota Dreams website that would give them access to resources when filling out application forms or financial aid forms.
The free college application period ends on November 30.

5 safety tips for winter driving conditions in Arizona
Taking a trip up to Flagstaff or driving through Prescott during the Arizona winter? Here are five tips to stay safe when cruising on winter roads.
The Republic
State Sen. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, announced on the social media platform X on Sunday that he had left the hospital, about a week after breaking bones and suffering other injuries in a single-car crash in South Dakota.
Kern, who was visiting family, was riding with a friend through a snowstorm when the car hit ice and the driver lost control.
He posted that he was out of the critical stage and making his way back to Phoenix, but he couldn’t fly due to a collapsed lung.
Kern is finishing his first state Senate term after three terms in the state House. This fall, he opted to run for a congressional seat rather than seek a return to the state Capitol but lost the GOP race for Congressional District 8 to Abe Hamadeh.

Sunday will be warm and breezy
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA) – Partly cloudy skies are expected. A stray shower or two will be possible, but chances aren’t great. Highs will be in the 40s and 50s for much of KOTA Territory.
Wind gusts could range from 30 to 40 mph at times – especially across western South Dakota.
We’ll remain mild all Christmas week with highs in the 40s to near 50°. Mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies will be likely all week long. It could get a little breezy on Christmas Day, but nothing too crazy.
