New Location!

Dear Parents and Students:

Welcome to the 2017 District 214 College Fair Program. We hope that the information you obtain here this evening will be helpful in your college planning.

Some colleges that have participated in previous college night programs are not present this year due either to other commitments or budgeting restrictions. Through requests from both parents and students, new names have been added to the list of participating colleges. The institutions listed on the following pages represent colleges of a variety of types from various parts of the country.

The college representatives are prepared to discuss admission requirements and procedures, curriculum offerings, scholarships, financial aid information, housing options, and programs for advanced study.

Once you have had the opportunity to look over the information and material you receive, you may have further questions. Please feel free to contact your high school’s college counselor for clarification or additional information.
