As we wrap up our event, we want to express our gratitude for your active participation and engagement. Before we part ways, we're excited to share some special news – the Scholarship Announcements. As we conclude, remember that this event is a stepping stone in your journey toward success. Stay tuned for what lies ahead and continue to pursue your goals unapologetically.
Hopefully you! And anyone you know. If you're a student, invite your friends. If you're a parent- also invite your friends. What sets our fair apart is its distinctiveness – not only will esteemed universities be present, including state schools, Ivy League institutions, HBCUs, and liberal arts colleges, but also national organizations equipped with resources tailored to empower low-income, first-generation students of color.
This isn't your typical virtual college fair - we're offering an immersive and accessible experience through a metaverse that is available from any phone, tablet or computer. Attendees can connect directly with colleges and resource services and get a chance to win scholarship awards. Universities and Organizational Partners can pack their booths full of valuable content/information that is available to all for 90 days post the event, give presentations, as well as directly connect with interested attendees via chat or video call.
The fair is on 10/19/2024 at 1pm EDT/ 10am PDT - 3:30pm EDT/ 12:30pm PDT. Attendee programming is for 2.5 hours and includes speakers, panels, university presentations and scholarship giveaways.
Ready to embark on a journey toward securing scholarships for your educational dreams? It all starts with the first step: getting registered. By signing up, you're automatically entered into an eligible pool for various scholarships. But that's just the beginning. Elevate your chances of walking away with valuable awards by engaging in our exciting activities. Complete the scavenger hunt or aim to top the leaderboards – both paths unlock additional scholarship opportunities tailored just for you.
No worries! You can still register and join the event late or at a later date. All of the booths will be available with information for 90 days post the event to gather materials from our university partners.
This fair is for everyone! Our aim is to create an inclusive haven for over 1,000 8th to 12th grade students, parents, educators, and community members. Our goal is to encourage a journey towards higher education without fear. We're teaming up with partners such as the College Board, Scoir, Matriculate, and more to make this vision a reality. Together, we're dedicated to reaching out to every student and their families, ensuring they have the chance to connect with you, your institution, and the valuable resources we provide!
