The Greater Fort Lauderdale National College Fair will be
held on Tuesday, October 21, 2014, at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County
Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, from 9 a.m. to noon and 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Sponsored by the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC)
and hosted by the Southern Association for College Admissions Counseling (SACAC)
and Broward County Public Schools (BCPS), this event is free and open to the
public.
As the process of applying to and selecting a college
becomes more and more competitive and complex, students and parents need all the
help and information they can get. The Greater Fort Lauderdale National College
Fair will provide valuable resources for students and parents attempting to
navigate the college admission process.
The college fair will give students and parents an
opportunity to meet one-on-one with admission representatives from a wide range
of national and international, public and private, two-year and four-year
colleges and universities. Participants will learn about admission requirements,
financial aid, course offerings and campus environment, as well as other
information pertinent to the college selection process. At the fair’s counseling
center, students and parents can discuss their individual needs with college
experts. Students with special needs will be able to learn about programs and
services at colleges and universities for students with disabilities.
Evening workshops designed to make the college transition a
little easier will cover such topics as Financial Aid and Deferred Action Act,
Scholarship Quest and Bright Futures Scholarships, Value of Advanced Placement
Exams, Highly Competitive Colleges, Preparing Your NCAA Student Athlete, and
Fundamental Career Planning for High School Students. Workshops will be
conducted in English and Spanish. Interpreters will also be available.
“The resources and opportunities that the National College
Fairs provide for students and their families are invaluable,” said Greg
Ferguson, NACAC Director of National College Fairs Programs and Services.
“Admission professionals have been delighted by the caliber of students
attending our programs.”
Now in its 42nd year, the National College Fair program
annually helps more than 675,000 students and families nationwide explore their
options for higher education, making it one of the most visible college
recruitment tools in the country.
