12^th Annual Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) College Fair

Friday, January 24, 2020

This free event will provide students in Grades 8–12 an opportunity to meet representatives from more than 60 HBCUs. Representatives will share information and answer questions from students and parents about admissions, financial aid, testing, majors and much more. Online registration is required to attend. This is a great opportunity to start your college search!

Many HBCU representatives will hold on-site interviews with 12th grade students. During the interviews, students can potentially receive application fee waivers, scholarship awards and on-site admission. On-the-spot interviews available for registered students starting at 3:30 p.m.

Learn how to prepare for common interview questions and what questions you should ask the HBCU representatives. For more information, contact the College and Career Coordinator at your school.
