This free event is open to all area students and parents. Students are encouraged to register before the fair at nacacattend.org
Representatives from four-year colleges, two-year colleges, technical and business schools will be on hand to answer questions and offer information. Workshops will include sessions on Financial Aid, NCAA and College Essay Writing.
Before you arrive at the College Fair, check the list of participating colleges and schools and select the ones that most interest you. If you have time, research these colleges by reading information in your counseling office or by checking out guidebooks or websites.
The College Fair is a timesaving opportunity for students and parents to gather a lot of information at one time. In addition to inquiries about course offerings and majors, students and parents can ask questions about campus life, sports teams, clubs and other student activities. College reps may also provide detailed information regarding financial aid.
